Japan Ethiopia Students Conference (JESC)
What is NPO Japan Ethiopia Students Conference (JESC)?
JESC was established with the hope of building the equal relationship between Japan and Ethiopia, not the one-sided relationship with assistance.
In Ethiopia, we exchange and discuss with Ethiopian students, also visit Plantation/Agriculture project Coffee field, elementary school with the support by JICA etc. In Japan, we introduce the actual circumstances of Ethiopia and the results of the project and hold the study session by students. Other than that, we open café for school festival, attend and organize various kinds of events that are relative to Ethiopia and Africa. We also collaborate with embassy to hold a coffee ceremony…and so on.
Let’s feel familiar with Ethiopia! Interview a member of JESC from Ethiopia, Esparow!!
-What is your image of Japan like?
I think Japanese has a nationality of punctuality and diligence.
I can’t believe that their economic standard was same as ours a half century ago.
-What is the dream of yourself and your friends?
I want to be the motive power for the development of our nation. By becoming a lawyer or a businessman, we have a common dream of leading the country and becoming the model of the people. I think we are the hopeful generation.
-Did anything change after knowing JESC?
I was thinking that there was only one way to solve the problems of Ethiopia which was to make an effort inside the country. But JESC made me realize that to build the favorable relationship with other countries is very important to develop our country.
In the world of globalization, it was a great chance to think about the future of Ethiopia.
-Thank you!
What about the future of ours, JESC?
We are pursuing the realization of exchange and discuss in Japan with welcoming Ethiopian students, not only that we Japanese students visit Ethiopia.
By feeling local culture, tradition, and sense of value at the original place, we will get to acquire a bigger point of view and see from both sides of aspects. This will lead to solve the problems of both of the countries.
We will keep challenging many things with students’ natural vigorous curiosity and flexibility in order to develop and prosper both countries. (President of JESC Nobuhiko Kamiya)
