Hello, Muli shani.
My name is Mupelwa Namfukwe from Zambia, which is also known as the real Africa. I am a third year Development studies and project Management student at the University of Zambia.

Therefore, I am looking forward to learn more about the Japanese language and third academia. My aim is to leave as a very knowledgeable student who will later share the knowledge gained to my home university.

Konnichiwa,
My name is Verdiane YEMATA, I am a student at the University of Yaounde I in Cameroon, pursuing a Ph.D in medical anthropology, and now currently an exchange student at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. I am very excited and happy to have been given this opportunity to study here because I like the way Japan remains strongly linked to its culture. So, as a culture lover, I would like to discover many things about Japanese culture like language, religion, customs, behaviors, rituals and practices, clothes and traditional meals, etc. I would like to find how a people could develop while jealously keeping their nature, so I could transmit these values when I return to my country. The way everybody is welcoming here at TUFS is just amazing.
I can’t end my speech without thanking the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) for supporting all my trip here, the Inter University Exchange Project (IAfP) for sponsoring this program by paying for our plane tickets and the African Studies Center at TUFS for accepting me into the school. In addition, I want to thanks the TUFS-International Student association (TUFS-ISSA) for accompanying us on a daily basis here.

And also, to learn new ways of life oversea that can help in my personal development and be exposed to new life, intercultural tolerance as it is one of the issues my country is facing not knowing how to tolerate the cultures of others.
Thanks to all those who made it possible for me to have this chance to learn about things I have always yearn to learn in my life.

I am Boakye-Tetteh Rosemond, a combined major student of History and Political Science at the most prestigious university in Ghana, the UNIVERSITY OF GHANA.
I find this program extremely crucial since I understand the magnitude of impact it would have on my entire educational and professional journey. For instance, as a History student, meeting and sharing same space with different scholars across the world would provide a platform for learning new cultures and languages. Again, our period here promises to be educative such that, diverse courses are designed to stimulate the minds of youngters and generate academic discourses which I truly find it delightful especially coming from Political Science background.
I am particularly enthused about this program for the fact that, I would finally return and share my knowledge and experiences with my colleagues while I improve my public speaking and communication skills. I am therefore honored to be a part of this year’s exchange program organised by Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
I have to hasten to add that, I am as well appreciative of the JASSO scholarship given by the Japan Government and again, kudos to Toyota Ghana for their immense support and a big thanks to International Programmes Office of the University of Ghana as well.

As a student of Criminology I am particularly interested in studying the culture, attitudes and policies in Japan that have lead to it having an such an astoundingly low crime rate in comparison to the rest of the world.
On a more personal level, I am incredibly excited to be experiencing Japan via this exchange as someone who regularly engages with Japanese media via film and music. It is truly surreal to be in the places where my favorite movies were shot and favorite songs were recorded.
I’d like to express my immense gratitude towards the African Studies Centre at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and the Inter-University Exchange Project-Africa, for the role they have played in making this exchange possible and making my dreams a reality. The opportunity you have given me is one that is invaluable, and I look forward to making the most of it!

My name is Julia Visser, and I’m a student from Stellenbosch University, South Africa. I belong to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and am currently studying towards a degree in Humanities with majors in Geography, English Studies and Visual Studies.
Although I reside in a European-styled University town in the Western Cape; I’m originally from a very different but beautiful part of South Africa. I grew up largely amidst the plantations of Mpumalanga province in the northeast of the country, between small towns. In fact, for the most part, I was always within a 20-minute drive from the Kruger National Park!
Studying at Stellenbosch University has been a considerable feat, but coming to the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, is a lifelong dream come true! I plan to learn more about Japanese arts, culture and society, and certainly improve my Japanese language skills. I am eager to explore Japan’s innovative systems of sustainability, and how knowledge may be interchanged within Japan-Africa relations. Venturing around the metropolis of Tokyo is exhilarating, yet I hope to visit rural spaces and areas of cultural significance during my stay here.
I want to express my sincerest gratitude to the TUFS IAfP office for supporting me on my journey here, and SU International for nominating me for our pioneer inter-university exchange. Thank you kindly to The Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Scholarship Foundation for your generous support in allowing me to live and study in Japan, as well as valuable cultural insights shared.

I wish to learn the cultural solutions in Japan’s re-construction process, global studies on contemporary issues for gaining lessons to take home and having good knowledge of Japan in the context of language, norms and values, religion, and social interactions. I am very interested to learn different courses, joining available clubs at TUFS as well visiting historical and cultural museums of Japan to grow deeper.

My sincerely gratitude to all people who made my dreams possible. I am deeply grateful to the Inter-University Exchange Project-Africa (IAfP) for taking care of my air-flight tickets, the African Studies Center at TUFS (ASC-TUFS) for the acceptance offer in the learning program.
