In a ceremony held yesterday, Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) director Kiyoski Yoshimoto presented six new Japanese volunteers who will be working here for the next two years. In the last two decades more than 400 young Japanese volunteers have come to the DR to serve in the areas of education, health, agriculture and the environment. The current contingent has a range of skills to offer. Eiji Eguchi has expertise in rural development and will be working with the Constanza municipal authority. Chikako Sugawara, a nurse, will be working with the Ministry of Public Health in Samana. Yukie Hashimoto will be working in Santiago and Fumiko Bushimata will be doing social work with child welfare agency CONANI in Santo Domingo. This is the 66th group of volunteers from Japan that has come to the DR.
