For five days from December 10-14, 2019, a staff of this Foundation participated in the Obama Foundation Leaders: Asia-Pacific Program 2019.
　This program was organized by the Obama Foundation for around two hundred participants from thirty-three countries and regions, including Indonesia and Australia. The aim of the program was to enhance the skills of young leaders, thus empowering their activities, developing connections among participants and creating a new generation of role models.
　As part of the program, there were talks by people who are successful in various different fields, including former President Barak Obama and his wife, and Mr. Tony Fernandes, CEO of the Air Asia Group, the largest LCC in Asia. There were also workshops where participants could learn about how to develop leadership skills, opportunities to participate in volunteer activities in the local community, and more.
　This Foundation’s staff, through participating in discussions with young leaders in the Asia-Pacific region, had the opportunity to discuss values with the other participants. Our staff also spoke about the actual damage from the atomic bombing and the activities of Mayors for Peace, and asked for understanding and support for future activities.
