The world is a big place. That is why, by listening to opinions about Japan and the Japanese people from a foreign perspective,A bird's-eye view of Japan, such as "This is how people think of Japan.You can do this.

 

By looking at it from a bird's eye view,We can also notice Japan's bad and good points compared to the rest of the world.It can also be like.

Message from Mr. Queen

The last message is from "Mr. Queen," who will be the speaker for this year's event.

Hi, I'm Queen and I'm from the Philippines.
(Hello! I'm Queen from the Philippines)

I'm a scholar before of Mindanao Children's Library Foundation (MCL) which is supported by Japanese people.
（I studied at the Mindanao Children's Library (MCL), an NGO established with the support of Japanese people.)

Currently, I am a teacher here at GLI for more than a year.
(I have been teaching here at GLI for over a year now.)

I also like watching action movies. I'm a fan of an anime series as well as here in Japan.
（I love to dance, sing, read books, and watch action movies. I also like to watch action movies.)

When I was in the Philippines, I was exposed into different activities like community service, relief operation in affected areas of natural calamities and war.
(During my time in the Philippines, I have experienced a variety of social support and relief activities in areas affected by natural disasters and conflicts.

Working in Japan was an opportunity for me. Staying here is a challenge especially I couldn't speak Japanese at all. Culture, places and food are incredible. Also, people are nice.
(Working in Japan is a rare opportunity for me, and since I don't speak Japanese well at all, spending time in Japan is a challenge in itself, but the culture, places, and food are truly amazing, and the people are wonderful.)

I would be glad to talk more about my experience on the upcoming event. i am delighted to see you all where we can learn new things about diversity in the world.
（I look forward to sharing my experiences and learning about the diversity of the world with you.)

 

I and the entire GLI staff look forward to receiving your application.

 

GLI Representative Kaburaki
