Training report : June 22, 2009 : Program Orientation
Welcome to Japan!
Five participants from the following four countries - China, Fiji, Malaysia, and Nepal - arrived at JICA Tokyo on June 16.
Today is the first day of the training program.
And five participants are ready for six-week training in Japan.
Course leader who was a facilitator of the program orientation this morning was very happy to welcome new jica friends.
However we had a big problem!
Our course leader lost his voice because of inflammation of the tonsils. No voice coming out from him!
He can use sign language, but participants don't understand the Japanese sign language!
He can whisper, but his voice cannot carry a long way.
So JSRPD staff repeated what he said, and other committee members, JICA officer, and JICE coordinator added necessary information to support him.
As a result we including participants united all our efforts and could have a wonderful program orientation.
We could get off to a good start!
