​Short report from Senior Interns(Japanese)
Short report from Senior Interns(English)

(14 Aug., 2018) Yesterday was the first day at Brawijaya University and the Dean and Vice Dean of the Faculty of Cultural Studies (FCS), Prof. Ismatul Khasanah and her staff all welcomed us warmly to the university. The START program students and I received generous welcome and gifts that will help us to do our studies while we are here at Brawijaya. After the ceremony, Prof. Khasanah gave a lecture on the basics of Bahasa Indonesia.  With the START program students and I, we learned basic pronunciation and how to read Bahasa Indonesia. 

(15 Aug., 2018) In the previous day Brawijaya professors gave us lectures on Bahasa Indonesian language and about international relations and cooperation with Japan.  The lectures were very informative and I assisted the professors in helping the START program students to understand the contents of the lectures.  Didik Hartono Sensei taught us about Bahasa Indonesia and Nyoman Suluh Sensei taught the students about Urban planning and development in Malang.  I assisted Nyoman Sensei with helping to clarify and explain some technical terms from his presentation.

Later this week, I will be giving a presentation to the Brawijaya students about Global Citizenship on 8/16, where we will have a discussion and exchange between HU students and BU students about global issues and topics concerned with Global Citizenship Education.  Until then thank you and we are learning so many valuable issues that affect Japan and Indonesia here at Brawijaya.

(21 Aug., 2018) 
In the past week, the Brawijaya students have asked me many questions about living in Japan as a foreigner and what studying at a Japanese university is like. We shared the similarities and differences about curriculum, the academic schedule, types of courses, daily living and weather in Hiroshima. They were very surprised to hear about the cold winters we have in Saijo, but were also happy to hear that HU has many students from Asia, from Indonesia and especially from Brawijaya University.   

On Thursday 8/16, I was asked to do a 90-minute, mixed lecture-discussion with 12 students from the Faculty of Cultural Studies (FCS) at Brawijaya University. We discussed the definition of Global Citizenship from the Indonesian and Japanese perspective and then we also discussed local, national and global issues in both of our countries. Issues included gender disparities, plastics and pollution in the environment, and economic poverty.  
After the lecture, the Brawijaya students really reflected on what they can do to help their country and also how to cooperate with Japanese students on environmental issues, such as air pollution and rubbish disposal issues in the environment. 
The lecture-discussion was a great success, and we used what we learned about global citizenship to better understand our homestay experience on 8/19-8/20. Thank you for your kind attention and interest.  Terima Kasih Banyak (Thank you very much in Bahasa Indonesia Language).

Today I am writing my latest and final update to my internship here in Indonesia with Brawijaya University.  Last night, the Dean, Vice Dean, Dr. Ismatul Khasanah and other esteemed professors held a closing ceremony and farewell party for the HU students and I.  It was celebrated with a sharing of our past few weeks together, speeches by the professors and students, and also the students shared songs and dancing from both Japan and Indonesia.  It was a very touching and wonderful closing ceremony by everyone involved.
I wanted to personally thank Brawijaya University's professors for allowing me to intern and to learn so much about Indonesia. The amazing students and staff at Brawijaya were so generous with their time, wealth of knowledge, and many wonderful souvenirs from Indonesia. I am so grateful for everything that they have shared with me and the rest of the HU students. I learned so much about Indonesian culture, language, history and more about the impression of Japan's historical and growing relationship with Indonesia. It is my hope to share my amazing GiECBO experience with everyone in Japan and at Hiroshima University. 
Lastly, I owe a great deal of thanks and appreciation to the Hiroshima University staff at GiECBO, International Study Abroad Center, IDEC, and my inspirational professor who made my internship possible.  Terima Kasih Banyak, どうもありがとうございました、and thank you so very much.

Greetings from Tallahassee, Florida, USA. I arrived on August 18th (sat) safely and have took a tour around the city to be used a little bit. 
I met with Dr Lisa Liseno, my host in FSU on August 21st (Tue). The program I have applied for was mainly about attending the teaching assistant conference called PIE program. It was held on August 22nd and 23rd in FSU. It was very interesting and I have learned a lot.
On August 24th (Fri), I attended a meeting with Pr Ella-Mae Daniel with all of her teaching assistants to discuss about how we are going to manage the classes for this fall semester.

Namaste! チトワンから2回目のWeekly reportを更新します。あっという間に2週間が過ぎました。今週はプロジェクトレポートの作成と調査の準備が主な活動でした。FORWARDスタッフの協力のおかげで研究のための調査に取り掛かることができそうです。来週は実際に聞き取りアンケートに向かう予定です。
そして、本日はFORWARDの設立22周年記念の日でした！（1997年にFORWARDha設立されました）午前中はスタッフと支援関係者の皆さんでケーキと朝食を食べ、午後は10キロほど離れたDevghatという村に行き、おじいさんおばあさんへの継続支援を行いました。写真はその時のものです。明日はKhrisunaの生誕イベントがあるそうで、今から楽しみにしています。

Since last Monday, internship in PUSKIM, Indonesia, has been started. Indonesia is a hot country though, Bandung which is the location of my host institution, is cooler than other cities. Without air conditioner, I can survive.
The first week, I greeted to people in PUSKIM, participated in the meeting, visited Bandung city to get the information about my research, and discussed about what I should do during internship with my supervisor in PUSKIM.
Here I enjoyed Indonesian food as you can see my photo. Almost all Indonesian food is spicy. So right now I try to adapt.

(5 Sep., 2018) 
I hope this finds you well and I hope those who are in Japan are doing well since the typhoon has come. So, I am writing to share with you my second week in the Florida State University.
I was visiting the Distance learning system at FSU and have learned about their mentors work to support learners and make learning better. Last week, the extracurricular activities in the FSU was holding a welcome event to let new students know more about the activities each club is doing and let them be a member of each group. It was very interesting and I knew from that that there was a Japanese language learners association.
So thankful for the opportunity to be here. Best regards everyone and wishing you a good day where you are.

フィリピン，マニラから初めてのweekly reportをお届けします．先週の木曜(30日)午後にマニラへ到着し，私のインターンシップが始まりました。こちらは気温こそそこまで高くないものの，毎日のようにスコールが降っており湿度がかなり高く感じられます。
初日の木曜日は事務所の方へのご挨拶をし，滞在中の注意事項を説明していただいて終了しました。翌日金曜日はマニラの中心部などを連れて回っていただき，私の専門が交通ということで公共交通である電車やバスにも乗せていただきました。1日を通して交通渋滞の激しいマニラを体感しました。そして今週から本格的に私の研究がスタートしています。現在は担当の方との打ち合わせをし，質問票のまとめにかかっています。また今日は、過去に卒業生が同様の研究をしたということからフィリピン大学の教授とお話しする機会をいただき，調査方法についての助言をいただきました。今週末をめどに調査票を作成し、来週から調査を開始できればと考えています。明日は地下鉄建設計画の現地調査が行われるため朝から帯同させていただきます．

Namaste! Weekly reportも3回目となりました。こちらでの生活(特に食べ物)にもだいぶ慣れてきたところです。
今週は火曜日から木曜日にかけてオフィスから20kmほど離れたShaktikhorというところの村まで、私の研究のための調査にいくことができました。今回はデータ収集を目的にアンケート調査を行いましたが、実際に足を運んでデータ収集することの難しさを痛感しました。
しかし、3日間の調査が終了し、ほぼ計画通りの人数から回答を得られたときは大きな達成感でいっぱいでした。私の調査のために同行していただいたスタッフの方々がいなければ実現はできませんでした。そのことを忘れず、感謝の気持ちをもってこれからデータ集計に励みたいと思います。

(12 Sep., 2018) 
2回目のWeekly Reportです。前回のレポートでもお伝えしましたように、先週の木曜日に地下鉄建設予定地の現場調査に同行させていただきました。
交通関係の方だけでなく建築の方も来られており，実際の設計に向けた用地の確認などをされていました。また，それぞれ駅の建設予定地によって抱えている問題も異なり，地下鉄のように同時に複数の場所で建設を進めることは，それだけ困難が多いのだということを改めて感じました。
私のインターン中の研究についてですが，オンライン形式でのアンケートで進めることになりました。その質問票が，事務所の職員の方や指導教員にご指導いただきながらようやく今日完成しました。これから職員の方やフィリピン大学の教授にご協力いただきながら，アンケートの拡散，集計を進めていきます。

Greetings from India, New Delhi.On Sep 7th, I arrived at India safely. Before coming to India, I stayed in Philippines to improve my English skills for 3 weeks. In Philippines, I took English class form 9 am to 4:30 every day. There were many homework, so it was very hard. We did science experiment in the elementary school for our class. It became very good experience for me. And teaches are also cheerful and kind.
In the weekend, we went to Apo Island, near Cebu Island, to swim with sea turtles. There are many turtles in the beautiful sea. I also want to enjoy Indian Internship life!

チトワンでの生活も終わりに差し掛かっています。ここに来た当初は耐えきれない暑さに苦労しておりましたが、この1週間はようやく雨季の恵みを感じることができ、朝晩は上着が必要なほど冷え込んでいます。
先週の週末にはホストファミリーの親戚の方のお家があるルンビニへ行きました。こちらは仏教発祥の地で、世界遺産にも登録されています。ブッダの聖地とされる場所にも訪れることができました。
今週は先週の調査で得たデータの集計と最終日のプレゼンテーションに向けた準備、レポートの作成を行い、今日は最後の金曜日ということで、Excective OfficerのDr.Sen さんとともにサウラハというサファリのある観光地に行くことができました。現在はオフシーズンということで、川のそばで食事をし、飼育されているゾウの見学をしました。ゾウをみることを楽しみにしていたのでDrSenの心遣いに本当に感謝しています。また、本日付でオフィスを離れる2名のスタッフのお別れ会も行いました。
オフィスで過ごすのはあと2日になりましたが、最後のプレゼンテーションに向け頑張りたいと思います。

Today, I come back to Delhi from Jodhpur to meet Japanese student. Jodhpur is famous as blue city. And it is one of the model city of Japanese comic, “ONE PIECE”. I attach the picture of Clock Tower in Jodhpur and when you read vol. 18 ~ 23 of “ONE PIECE”, then you can see this clock tower in the comic.
In Jodhpur, I visited a NGO which provide education for poor children.Time was limited so I can’t research deeply. I want to try again after finishing Study Tour for university student.

(17 Sep., 2018) 
 Last Friday, I went to the site  of “Kampung vertical housing”. There is a slum area in Bandung, Indonesia. Now, Indonesia government try to diminish all slum areas in Indonesia. This project is that residences in slum move to the government owned vertical house, then, the place which is used to be slum has been changed to more clean and comfortable place, and finally people who used to settle will come back to the place again.
I saw the middle process, that is kampung vertical housing which is owned by government. It was nice place though, I found one issue causing anxiety. There is a hole at the stair. So I guess it is dangerous for children. Although it may be difficult to recognize for you, I attached pictures. You may confirm with the picture. Anyway, I enjoyed talking with resident and enjoyed the environment. This weekend, I am supposed to visit another slum area.

(22 Sep., 2018) 
This is my first weekly report.I arrived Bandung on 14th's evening safety. And I started working in Puskim from last Monday. 
In this week, we prepared the  our office firstly. The institute gave us the small room and we cleaned up the room to use the room comfortably for 2 month. 
And then, we did the calibration for measurement equipment. The construction of our experimental house is now on going. The field measurement will be conducted from early of October. During September, we will do the preparation for measurement and manage the construction. We grow plants for experiment at same time. Current situation of plants is shown in the attached picture.
On this Friday, we did the meeting with ITB lab for the design of another experimental house that will be used for our research in future.

(22 Sep., 2018) 
I am in Bandung, Indonesia. In this week, I met to Prof. Yuri. He is manager of Kampong term. We discussed my research and going program in PUSKIM. I understood what they do.
On this Thursday, I went to two kampong areas. I got an introduction from UPI university students who conduct joint research with us. We discussed What they are trying in Kampong and observed their daily life. In one kampong area, efforts of people took an award.  I thought the kampong is very clean and they follow some rules.
Next week, I will go to some old apartment to observe daily life of residents. So, I will decide research area and observe.

(24 Sep., 2018) 
Now, I lead some university student who join in Study Tour. We visit in some NGOs for observing NGO’s activities. There are many activity in NGO, for example life skill education, vocational training, basic education and so on. And we think about which education is most important for street children every day.

9月23日に無事に帰国いたしました。ネパールでの最後の週は今回のインターンシップについてのプレゼンテーションをしました。発表後、スタッフの方々、またちょうどオフィスを訪れていたマハラジャン先生の研究室に所属のスリーさんからコメントをいただきました。その後、farewell party をしていただき、スタッフの方々とお別れをしました。
今回のインターンシップは私の初めての途上国渡航ということもあり、異文化の素晴らしさを知ると同時に、生活の違いの難しさも感じました。それでも、私がネパールで元気に過ごすことができたのはホストファミリーをはじめ、FORWARDのスタッフ、関わった方すべての方が私を支えてくださったおかげです。また、このような機会をいただいた関係者の皆様に改めて感謝いたします。

(26 Sep., 2018)
4回目のWeekly Reportです。昨日，オフィスで地下鉄プロジェクトについての会議をされるということで，その会議に同席させていただきました。建設コンサルタントは私が志望している業界であるため，実際の会議に同席させていただき話を聞かせていただけたことは貴重な機会であり，私にとって大きな収穫となりました。
週末は一人でマニラ近郊を散策しているのですが，先週末ようやく私が研究の対象としているGrabを利用できました。Grabの中のGrab shareというサービスを利用したため，同じ方面へ向かう他の方との混乗となりました。
Grabはアプリ上で出発地と目的地をドライバーの方に伝えるため，タクシーのような車内での会話は必要なく，現地の言葉が話せなくても気軽に移動ができ非常に便利なサービスです。2~3kmほど乗車したのですが料金も250円程度と良心的な設定で，日本国内でも是非サービスを提供してほしいと感じました。
私のインターン中の研究についてですが，先週の段階ではアンケート回答者数が伸び悩んでいたのですが，事務所の現地スタッフの方のご協力もあり，目標値に近い数の回答を得ることができました。今週からは得たデータの分析を進め，最終発表に向けた準備を進めています。

(29 Sep., 2018)
Last Thursday, we started to measure the sureface temperature and the amount of transpiration of plants that will be used for experiment. We will use the 2 types of plant, annual plant and perennial plant. The amount of transpiration is important parameter. We will evaluate the cooling effect by transpiration of the green wall by difference of the amount of transpiration.

こんにちは。明後日、出国を迎えます。毎日インドでおいしいご飯を食べ、しかしお腹を壊しながら楽しく生活をしています。インドは現在も30度を毎日越しており、毎日2lの水が必要な状態です。
私が今回観察している子どもたちは普段は特定の駅で生活しているのですが、様々なタイミングで色々な場所へ電車で移動します。今回も一昨日まで普段いる駅にほとんど子どもがいなかったのですが、昨日、多くの子どもたちが戻ってきてNGOが提供する教育施設に顔を出してくれました。そこで数名にインタビューを行うことが出来ました。
今日も再びインタビューを行います。NGOから出席簿のデータもいただくことが出来、帰国後、インタビュー結果を基に、分析を行いたいと思います。
