Thank you for your support in 2021!
22 December 2021
Dear JKET supporters,
2021 was the year of a new start for Japan Kauri Education Trust. In January, we resumed our Japanese Children’s Library services, Japanese Heritage Centre of Auckland. Since then, we have hosted various workshops in the new ‘home’; all these wouldn’t have been possible without warm support from so many community members and organisations. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the continued understanding and support you’ve given to JKET amidst the COVID-19 pandemic despite the difficulty and uncertainty caused by prolonged lockdown and numerous challenges in many aspects of our life.
Our society is still dealing with the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and will be volatile due to public safety regulations. While it is for sure a challenging time for JKET, it is also a critical time for us to repeatedly ponder the meaning of our services to the community and refresh our minds to work towards our goal.
To materialise the multi-cultural society with full potential, we will keep working hard to meet the needs of the Japanese community by offering the opportunities to deepen the understanding of the cultural differences between New Zealand and Japan while establishing great relationships with regional organisations.
Thank you so much for your continuous support and understanding of JKET.
May this holiday season be filled with joy and peace.
Naoko Miyauchi
Director
