【研修旅行】Study Groups Visit COMPASIS Projects Sites
On September 9, the study tour participants were constituted into two separate groups. They visited separately two villages where COMPASIS (Community Mobilization for Poverty Alleviation and Social Inclusion in Service deliver) was working. One group went to a village called Lete-foho. (meaning “top of the mountain” ) while another one group visited Ponirala. At Lete-foho, local people welcomed the study group in a traditional way. Our representatives were given some traditional clothes. There were some schools for improving literacy of inhabitants there. An elderly woman showed the ability to write by writing “welcome” and her name on the blackboard. Then, we found UNISEF’s contribution to the villages in building sanitation facilities like toilets and wells.All in all, we had a great time with local people and could see how the COMPASIS and UNICEF were working in local areas. In Ponilala,we recieved a cordial welcome from the people and inspected the construction site of the bridge and the “thausand toilet” project. (Usui and Kato)
