[Venue] AOTS Yokohama Training Center (YKC)
[Participants] About 100 participants (About 30 Indonesian practice caregivers and others from Thai, Vietnam, China, and all
[Attendants] 4 KSGG members and 2 observers
As an attraction prepared by KSGG members at the party, we found the participants who were born in December and celebrated their birthday, singing "Happy Birthday to You." Also, President of KSGG sent a cheering message in English, "Although you must have a tough time, please get over it."
After that, the participants from Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia sang songs of their countries. The group of Vietnamese played "My Heart Will Go On," a song from Titanic, on harmonicas. Two good-looking Indonesian men played the guitar, and all participants sang a song of SMAP's, "The One and Only Flower in the World." At the end, we were very excited about a Bingo game hosted by AOTS staff.
I sincerely hoped that every participant would fulfill his or her life in the future. I can't help wishing that Indonesian practice caregivers, who are going to get on-the-job training in hospitals throughout Japan, will successfully be qualified as a Certified Care Worker.
