Reunion in South America (Uruguay)
MTEC has received the message via facebook.
It is a wonderful reunion! I hope this occurs to everyone!!
Dear MTEC family,
Greetings from Uruguay, South America.
I´m a former OIC participant (DVP07).
During MTEC course, I became very good friend of some other participants.
Does this situation sound familiar to you?
After three years of coming back home, I still chat daily with them and consider their friendship as a treasure.
Last week we met again. David san (from Ecuador) and Martin san (from Argentina) came with their wives to visit my country and spend some time together again. We were able to feel again that close friendship we achieved in Japan.
But this is not only about taking dinner and talk a lot. This is also a chance to refresh and share knowledge.
What's the good thing about knowing new people at OIC? In my opinion, the chance of exchange ideas, strategies and different approaches to present issues in your own country.
We take this chance as an open door to keep improving our public work and knowledge, in order to help our people to have a better standard of living.
I encourage new and former OIC participants to create solid links with new international friends, so in the future we will have a stronger net of knowledge to share and help other people to improve themselves, to grow up. That's our aim.
We really feel like a family. We live in the same continent, and speak the same language. But you can make new family members around the world, and feel that family and Earth are the same size.
Thanks to JICA and specially OIC staff for making us feel as home in Japan, and showing that human exchange can be as important as academic knowledge.
Thanks Nana san for let me write this post.
Thanks Japan and all of us around the globe.
