Yujiro Ishimaru (in the picture right), now 68, started this activity in 1998, when her daughter was still alive (she died in 2001) and he was president of the Biliary Artesia Child Help Society in Japan. He realized how much Nepal needed to improve on its educational and health facilities, and put his energy and professional experience to this end. To this date the Asia Friendship Network, initiated by Ishimaru, has already built or expanded 40 schools, thus providing access to education to an increasing number of students.
This is the same spirit behind which our partners in the region, RIDS-Nepal and the Alice School Project in India, work. Therefore, we wish more people will get involved in activities like the one Mr. Ishimaru started.
