In addition to supporting the “KID’S SAFETY CHALLENGE,” which aims to eliminate traffic accidents by providing opportunities to think about traffic safety mainly at home and in school in order to raise awareness, the Foundation conducts awareness raising activities for the prevention of traffic accidents by holding an event in which parents and children ride in a truck to experience blind spots and by presenting awards regarding traffic safety posters submitted by elementary and junior high school students.

We have continuously supported the Japanese Language Composition Speech Contest held by the Hiroshima University Beijing Research Center in Beijing annually since 2006 for Chinese university students. The purpose of this contest is to provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate the results of their Japanese language studies, promote cultural exchange between Japan and China, and foster human resources who will become a bridge between the two countries.
