LFCAJ supporting FJMGP for GPF mobilization

FJMGP introducing GPF to LFCAJ
Sept. 28, 2008 , Akabane Hall
Reported by : Precy Akahori

Ms Cecil Iizuka, one of the PROs of Licensed Filipino Caregiver’s Association in Japan attended the GPF Orientation and Partnership Event in Shinjuku Bunka Center last Sept 13, 2008. She got inspired and after the event she reported positively resulting to 2 more PROs of the group attending the GPF follow up meeting held last Sept 21 at YFWP office in Shinjuku. After the follow up meeting, the 2 PROs invited FJMGP to attend their next meeting and introduce GPF to their officers.
So on Sept 21, 2008, the FJMGP VP for Internal Affairs Dra Nora Hasegawa with the secretary Priscila Akahori visited the LFCAJ Meeting at Akabane Hall to give a GPF Orientation to the group.

Present in the meeting are Ms. Penafrancia Oishi- President, Arlene Suzuki- Treasurer, Ms.Cecil Iizuka,Auditor, Ms Jane Tajima, Ms.Sonia Yamashita, - PROs,Drs Nobue Suzuki and Sachi Takahata, their advisers, plus other officers ,staff and members- I did not remember their names. They have a nation wide membership, so some member traveled for hours to attend the meeting. LFCAJ is a registered peace partner of FJMGP.

After all the personal introduction and FJMGP briefing , the GPF Phil 2007 Video was shown. Activities on GPF Japan 2008 followed. Everyone has shown positive response and inquired how to join. We encouraged them to sign first the Partnership Agreement and explained more on the Global Peace Exhibition and 1 Million Family Volunteer. Also invited them to join in the Arakawa Clean Up on Nov 13 with HJN. They are now helping in looking for prospective sponsors and participants in the different GPF activities.

Of course none of these things would have happened without the ever patient follow – ups of our dear Ate Lorie. Despite of her very preggy situation she finds time doing mission; working late at night to cope up with the deadlines and calling people to arrange our meeting.. In deed a great person. We love you Ate Lorie!
