SIVIO: Student Organization for International Cooperation

Kazuma Yamamura (Faculty of Economics, 3rd Year)

  SIVIO is an international cooperation team for students. After the last issue on The Doshisha Student, many 1st year students joined our club. On July 3rd, we did a Summer Festival at a club called gLAB. TRIBEh near the Kyoto Shiyakusyo as a last event for the 3rd year students. About 300 guests came to our festival with some people wearing the Yukata. It was a successful event. The guests and our SIVIO members enjoyed a lot. Also, every year, during the summer and spring break, we do a study tour in Laos and 21 people signed to go there. Those people were from Kansai, Kanto, and Tokai areas. We played with the children who lives in the Con and Vamhin Villages, which are the places that SIVIO supports, and with the help of the translator, we had the chance to communicate with the villagers and teachers from those villages. I was really happy that the children and the mother from the host family remembered me, even though it has been a long time since my last visit. SIVIO will continue to work on many more projects, so I hope people will continue to support our club.
