Report We held a networking event as a return for our crowdfunding campaign, and we were pleased to have 59 participants join us (38 members from TUFS and 21 CrowdFunding supporters). Thank you to everyone who participated. Since we invited crowdfunding supporters to this event, it was a pleasant few hours with TUFS students, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. We also had Ms.Linda and Mrs.Daniel, who are currently on exchange from Zambia University, introduce their country with interpretation provided by Japanese students. Afterward, everyone seemed to enjoy casual conversations. We would like to thank ZENSHO HOLDINGS, who were invited to this event through the "ASC Africa Education Research Support Fund" (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies Special Fund), for bringing in gyudon (beef bowl) as a treat, with the request that they let African students taste it and share their thoughts. Thank you very much. We also sincerely appreciate those who made direct donations at the reception on the day of the event. Together with the participation fees, these donations will be sent to the "ASC Africa Education Research Support Fund." We hope that the exchange between students from Africa and those within and outside the university will continue to deepen and expand, leading to ongoing individual and university-wide exchanges in the future. We also hope you will continue to support the activities of our center. Thank you once again for your participation.
