Today was the award ceremony for the 54th Mainichi Social Welfare Awards, which honor individuals and organizations that have contributed to the improvement of welfare. We are very happy to have received such an honorable award in the year of our 30th anniversary, thanks to the recommendation of Professor Hiroshi Harashima of Luther University. Above all, we are very happy that the activities of the JFC Network have been evaluated from the perspective of “social welfare”. We will continue to work hard in our human rights protection activities, encouraged by this award. Thank you very much.
