[The KITA Training Brand]◆ Comprehensive grasp of local needs ◆ Providing solutions ◆ Building win-win relationships～We report on activities being run by former participants playing an activerole in their homeland after completing their JICA/KITA training course～This issue of Overseas Reports covers activities being run in their homeland by participants who attended
one of the training courses, “Industrial Pollution Control Management” or “Waste Management
Technique (A)”. Both of the training courses were managed by Course Leader Kawasaki. According tohim, a lot of reports have been sent to him from his former participants. We selected the activities of four
former participants this time. More reports from other participants will be succeedingly introduced in thenext issue.

1. A Message from Mr. KAWASAKI, Course Leader
The reports this time are from participants who came to Japan in 2011 or2012. They are around the same age as my children, and during their stayin Japan they called me their father. They admire Japan, whose
world-famous environmental conservation and its techniques they studied
and observed for themselves before returning to their homelands. Theyare now taking action to leverage the expertise they acquired in Japan to
improve the environment in their home countries. These reports were simply to convey tome the starting point of their activities, but they communicate the participants’ strong
desire to make full use in their work of the expertise they gained in Japan. During theirstay here in Kitakyushu they also came into contact with Japanese culture via interaction
with many local people and home visits, and this is also something that they took backhome with them. It makes me both proud and happy as a Japanese to think that they willtell people in distant lands about the kindness and meticulousness of the Japanese people,
and about the safety and security of life in Japan (though the Japanese themselves do nothave much awareness of that....) It is my constant hope that this JICA/KITA training willcontinue to play a significant role as a bridge between Japan and developing countries.
