SUZUKI CSR REPORT 2011
03 Management Assistance for the Mundo de Alegria School for South Americans
The Mundo de Alegria School located in Oroshi-honmachi,
Hamamatsu City is a school for Japanese-South American
children. The school was established to accept children
who cannot attend Japanese schools due to the language
barrier or international schools due to the economic
hardship so that they can experience the joys of learning
and adjust to the Japanese society.
The school was established in February 2003 with private
donations, however it was difficult to manage the school
privately. Suzuki decided to support the continuance
of the school encouraging collaboration from the local
industries in Hamamatsu. And about 60 local companies
joined the supportive action. In August 2005, the school
became the first domestically incorporated school for the
Japanese-South American students, receiving subsidies
from the prefectural and municipal governments. With
the consistent efforts gradually recognized, the number
of supporters and collaborators is increasing. And people
from the local industrial community take part as board
members (founder, trustee, whip, and councilor) of the
school.
We hope to nurture admirable second and third
generation Japanese-South American youths living in
Hamamatsu City.
