AINOWA will make ever-greater efforts to reach out to help more people.
On August 22, 1980, 17 years after the Duskin’s foundation, Seiichi Suzuki passed away. Duskin
employees needed a common goal in order to go forward by inheriting the unique management
philosophy, Prayerful Management and his belief of “Help People Grow” and “Lavish Affection on
People.” Making ever-greater efforts to reach out to help more people is the unifying goal.

The Duskin
AINOWA Foundation
2021
Annual Report

In 1981, Mister Donut celebrated its 10th anniversary and set up Mister Donut Study Abroad Leaders
Program for the Disabled in order to reciprocate the community’s patronage of our Mister Donut
shops. This program was to express our support for active and equal participation of the disabled
which was the theme of the United Nations’ International Year of the Disabled. This program waswell received around the country and the Duskin AINOWA Foundation, one of Duskin’s Corporate
Social Responsibility efforts, was established in order to continue the program in the long term. In
February 2012, the Foundation made a new start as a public interest incorporated foundation after
receiving authorization from the Cabinet Office.
“May I help you?” What we can do may not be much, but we want to be of service to someone, nomatter how small that service is. We want to extend a helping hand to someone who is in need in ourcommunity.
We hope each one of us would express our sincere support for achieving independent living for thedisabled and their full participation in society and that the small circle of volunteer spirit will expand
to create a society where everyone can lead a happy and fulfilled life, regardless of disability.

AINOWA Declaration
We pledge through this movement to do our best, from the viewpoint of equality,
to promote social welfare for disabled children and adults so that they can fully participate in society.

Duskin Study Abroad Leaders
Program for the Disabled

Our wish for a spiritually enriched society
The Duskin AINOWA Foundation was established in the spirit of “May I Help You” in 1981,
coinciding with the United Nations’ International Year of the Disabled. For 41 years, we havebeen continuously pursuing our goal to achieve independent living for the disabled and their fullparticipation in society.
Today our foundation conducts two main training programs.
One is the Duskin Study Abroad Leaders Program for the Disabled. Young Japanese people withdisabilities who seek to be community leaders are sent to study abroad through this program.
After returning to Japan, many of the trainees utilize these valuable experiences to thrive invarious fields, including as college professors, attorneys, operators of Centers of Independent
Living, and Paralympic athletes.
The other is the Duskin Leadership Training Program in Japan. This program invites young
people with disabilities from regions in the Asia-Pacific to Japan and provides them opportunities
to learn about social welfare for the disabled. After returning to their homelands, these trainees
take on leadership roles to work toward achieving an inclusive society.
Due to the global havoc caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundation’s study abroad
program and leader training program in Japan had to be suspended for two years. However,starting this fiscal year we are gradually resuming the programs while ensuring the health andsafety of the trainees.
We are truly grateful for the generous and caring support we have received from many
individuals, including membership fees from foundation members, fund raising collections at
Mister Donut shops, donations, and also from the affiliated institutions which accept our trainees,
through which the activities of this program have been able to continue.
Going forward, we will continue helping to create a society where everyone with or without
disabilities can gain spiritual enrichment, as we actively strive to fulfill our social responsibility
as a foundation and spread awareness of our AINOWA activities to an even wider audience.
We look forward to your continued support of our foundation.
Thank you very much.

Since its inception 41 years ago,
this program has sent 528 trainees to 17 countries.
We refrained from recruiting 41st-yeartrainees due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Coinciding with the United Nations declaration of 1981 to be the International Yearof the Disabled, the Duskin AINOWA Foundation launched the Duskin Study Abroad
Leaders Program for the Disabled with the aim to achieve equality for disabled
persons and their total participation in society.
This overseas training program makes it possible for Japanese young people withdisabilities who seek to be community leaders to study abroad, and is now well-known
in Japan and around the world.

Appearance by Yuki Hirose (27th-year trainee) at AINOWA Lecture
Smiles and body language are all you need for effective communication!
In addition to just their smile, we can also feel reassured when someone shows they “really care about
us!” through gestures. Once, I was eating at a restaurant when a staff member pointed to a window
and used sign language to tell me that “it’s raining.” When I asked, “Where did you learn sign
language?” the person said that they learned it in a human services course in high school. When deaf
people come to the restaurant, even if you cannot use sign language, I think they will also be pleased if you communicate with gestures.
Even something small like, “This is really tasty” will make them happy.
