Dear friends and supporters,

Thank you very much for your continued support. Thanks to all of you, Global Community has reached its 17th year since its founding, continuing to promote interaction between Japanese people and foreign residents in Japan.

Going forward, we will remain focused on issues that transcend ethnic boundaries—such as health, medical care, the environment, and cross-cultural exchange—and continue our steady efforts without forgetting our original mission. We look forward to your support again this year.

What Is “Social Issue–Solving Business” Required in a Global Society?
The Path to Global Talent: Learning from HNI’s “Sama-Sama” Model

We covered a lecture at Kwansei Gakuin University by Mr. Haruyama, President of HNI, a pioneering company addressing Japan’s urgent shortage of caregiving personnel. By building a “corridor of trust” between Japan and Indonesia, HNI is working toward a sustainable solution to this pressing social challenge.

We also attended a lecture by Mr. Hidetoshi Tojo, who has long contributed a series on Shinto and Japanese culture to Global Community. His talk, titled “Spiritual End of the War Peace Flame Ceremony,” explored themes of reconciliation and the spiritual conclusion of war.
