Cultivate Friendship in Asia !
Please join us to build schools for children in Asian countries
Children who are living in remote mountainous areas in Indochina peninsula, are suffering from very poor educational environment. AEFA has been supporting those children through building and managing schools with local residentsユ participation.
AEFA Contents of Activities
AEFA plans not only building schools but also developing the constructions and managements of schools adopting their practical needs based on 3 basic elements.
 
Step 1: Construction of Schools
On the spot NGO sets up School Steering Committee when villages request for construction of school. The head of village, principal, representation of parents, young generation in the village and NGO stuff will be the core of the school committee. They make plans, managing services of villagersユ labor at the time of under construction and participating in running schools after the construction.
The school will be required having 3-5 classrooms, toilet and teacherユs room. The school will be considered as the center of the region and occasionally used as village assembly hall. A kindergarten or dormitory will be attached, and dug wells in the same facility upon their request.
It is very important to recruit teachers who are enthusiastic for teaching and also respect its traditional culture.
 
Step 2: Management of school with local Residents participation
It is impossible to manage schools without understanding and supports of villagers.
The mechanisms to earn the funds for covering the operational exoenses will be built into the projects such as breeding pigs, vegetables gardening, sales of handicraft items, etc.
Those incomes appropriate for fixing the school building, buying school supplies, and giving financial aids for dormitories.
 
Step 3: Partnership with Schools in Japan
Through the mutual international exchanges, both sides will enjoy various merits.
Japanese Schools : Japanese children will be able to deepen their international understanding through exchanging videos and pictures. They have the opportunities to see the real life of diverse of ethnic groups. They actually learn that they are supporting
their friendship school in daily life.
Asian Schools : Support and cooperation from the sister school in Japan encourages Asian minority children to complete their education and enforce themselves to develop own culture.
In the future, AEFA plans to expands the scope of exchange by launching projects such as organizing the caravan who visits schools ( exchange through music), and sending study team. In addition, from a long term perspective, the positive approach, such as initiating scholarship program for excellent students will be considered.
