Introduction of Club Activities
SIVIO: Student Organization for International Cooperation
Ranko Fujiwara (Faculty of Economics, 3rd Year)
We are a student
organization for international
cooperation that supports
education in Southeast Asia,
Laos. Our goal is to have
more people acknowledge the
current situation of Laos,
spread our activities, and to
organize charity movements.
We mainly hold club events,
parties, and street fundraisings.
The profits from the
events are used to build
elementary schools in Laos.
Not only is SIVIO active in
the Kansai region, but also
in all three branches of the
Kanto region with
approximately 120 active
members. Two years ago, we
were successful in
constructing an elementary
school in Don Khon, Laos.
But since the number of
students increased, there
werenft enough classrooms.
Therefore, we made a plan to
construct an additional
school. In February, members
visited due to the study tours
and held a transferring
ceremony of the completion
of the additional building.
We were given a precious
opportunity to have a homestay
and were able to
experience the culture and
customs of Laos by
exchanging with the villagers
and children. We, SIVIO, will
continue to support the
education of Laos and
conduct charity movements
by involving people
throughout the world. I will
keep on challenging.
Enjoyable charity movement
