What we do

Education

We place a great deal of emphasis on Academic and Educational Programs. We envision a flourishing society where individuals possess self-awareness and a genuine appreciation for others and global communities. Our annual lineup includes lectures, luncheons, talks, and training sessions facilitated by experts to foster a conducive learning atmosphere for all participants.

We also believe in the importance of learning from young people around us and their unique perspectives. This is the basis of our Art and Essay Contest for middle school and high school students. These young students contribute a great deal of insight through their artwork and literature and we provide the top winners with an opportunity to further open their mind and hearts to other cultures by awarding them an international trip.
