July 5 Enforcement October 28 Verification of an effect #1 A questionnaire is carried out to the elementary and junior high school students who received the seminar.

As one of those conclusions, the studentwhowas interested in joined the program of the United Nations of NY. After coming back to Japan, the student could tell the experience to his school and other students. It is important to continue to tell students a meaning of the contribution to international society and its necessity. #2 Vending machine installation of Nothing But Nets has been going on. Three vending machine were already installed in 2013. The charity event in the JCI golf competitions is carried out continuously. Also 2013, additional installation of the three sets was already carried out. The charity event in the golf convention is also continued and carried out. Regarding well-known UNMDGs, we carrried it out together with foreingers. Therefore, it was more effective for us to listen to its actual story from them than to look at pictures or videos. It was obvious from a survey. From questionnaire ・Although I had an Africa’\\\'s image that is only starvation and poverty, I could notice that there was another aspect of Africa by hearing from Africans. #Our(junior high school students) presentation was all ears. It was said that we were still young and we did not have to hesitate to try what we want to do and think about. I felt that the world was close to me. #I have not ever touched this kind of the common objective of the world. If I could not take this UNMDGs seminar, It was terrible that I grew up without the knowlege about the objective. Therefore, I strongly wonderd why it was not taken in our education progress and at the same time I did not know how to express my thanks about this opportunity. As mentioned above, the elementary and junior high school students who received the seminar could understand the difference between their own country and a foreign country. A lot of cooperation about the activity of MDGs was raised. From questionnaire -If I found the JCI vending machese, I would certainly buy one. -I must do something helpful for Africa when I knew the surroundings of Africa. -I really want to have the MDGs objective achieved as soon as possible. -I want to make the world much better within five or the years. This is the reason why the world is hardly changed since I have looked into it.
