On June 11, a volunteer course was held at our Nagoya Office. Fifty-one employees from the six jointly sponsoring companies participated. With the cooperation of the "Association for Sending Picture Books to Lao Children," seals bearing Laotian translations were pasted into Japanese picturebooks, and the books were presented to the children of Laos through the Association. Ever since living in Russia and Kazakhstan as a trainee and employee, I've felt that I'd like to "give back" some of the opportunities I've received to the less fortunate. There are many people in the world who, despite their talents, are unable to blossom due to poverty. I often found myself wondering if there wasn't something I could do to help change this situation.
