What an honor it is to join the Kenjin-Tatsujin Council initiated by Ashinaga.The Ashinaga Movement has been supporting bereaved children who cannot afford to gain their simplest right –education– for 48 years.

There are not enough words that I can use to express how much respect I have for Ashinaga. Coming from a background involved in research and education, I believe that education is the building block for the continuity of a bright, peaceful, and successful society. Supporting the initiative of Ashinaga is an honor for me, and once again it is great pleasure to be part of this organization.
