My name is Nyampinga Marie Grace, Rwandan, and a student majoring in Peacebuilding and Development in the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at the Protestant Institute of Arts and Social Science (PIASS).
My interest is to learn more about the linkage and similarities of post-war reconstruction and reconciliation after WWII and the peacebuilding process in Japan and my country Rwanda as both experienced violent conflict and now Japan is a developed country while Rwanda is still undergoing the process. I am very interested in learning about Japanese culture and interacting with people from different diverse around the world present at the university through joining different clubs and taking courses as well as visiting different museums and historical sites.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO). I thank also the Inter-University Exchange Project-Africa (IAfP) for taking care of my air-flight tickets, and the African Studies Center at TUFS (ASC-TUFS) for the acceptance offer in the learning program. Thank you so much to all my sponsors!
