Message

In life, you never know when and where things will happen. I think it means that we all have the potential to become a minority in society and be in a vulnerable position. I want to realize a society that is easy to live in for everyone, no matter what happens or what position they find themselves in–this is what I am working for.
I have been especially focused on solving problems faced by people with foreign roots. We accept consultations and requests in English.
