At Japanese embassy in Burkina which has been open since this January, the person, yes the ambassador finally came.
To celebrate that (?), a reception party was held at the embassy and all volunteers were invited.
Of course with formal or traditional clothes
There were about 100 people (most of them were Japanese).
The "person" of the day
Also at the party there were....!
SUSHI----- with huge shrimps !!! (should I call them "prawn" ?)
As it is very diffult to find fresh seafood in Burkina, all volunteers were sooo excited !
I took a photo because I was too happy...(typical Japanese :)
Then 3 volunteers presented their activites.
Volunteer for infectious disease measures @ Tenkogodo : central region
Volunteer for market gardening / truck farming @ Dori : North
Volunteer for rural (actually outskirts) development @ Bobo-Dioulasso : South-West
People there were talking between them while our presentation. So I thought that no one heard what I was saying even with microphone..
But after the presentation, a person spoke to me. He came to Burkina for pre research for a project from the end of this year in the domain of water and sanitation at a local university in collaboration with Hokkaido University. We had very constructive discussions.
From now on, there will be more and more projects as the official embassy has been working.
I hope that these will play positive role in the country's development...
