story
This online study tour will take you to an hour and a half overseas training.
The destination is the city of Iloilo in the Philippines.
Here are the state-of-the-art cities in the midst of economic development and the poverty-stricken slums on the outskirts.
You can get a glimpse of the two sides of the two extremes.
This time, I'm going to meet a boy who lives on the outskirts of Iloilo City.
Even if I managed to go to school by donating,
The current situation is that we are forced to live a difficult financial life.
Even so, he clearly answers, "I'm happy."
On the other hand, in Japan, if you live without trouble with food, clothing and shelter,
When you are living a daily life that is rarely bothered by work and living environment
Isn't it not that many children clearly say "I'm happy"?
Through his life on the outskirts of Iloilo City
Participants can discuss social issues facing the Philippines and Japan.
Let's think together while interacting with Filipinos.

With The World Representative
Shunta Igarashi
While attending college, he belonged to the athletic club tennis club, and spent most of his student days on the tennis court.
After retiring from club activities, he visited the Philippines after being inspired by the Japanese who were conducting educational activities on the TV program that was being broadcast.
While learning that children who cannot go to school are well-remembered and have a strong desire to learn seriously, they also learn that there are many local children who do not know much about the slum situation.
With The World Co., Ltd. was founded, and schools around the world discuss one social theme regardless of location, distance, or religion in order to provide an opportunity to reconsider the social issues of their own country and local area while learning about the current state of the world. We are developing a platform service to learn from each other.
