Thanks to the hard work on the learning side and the enthusiasm on the teaching side.
Q: How do you feel about being caught in the COVID-19 pandemic during the training in Japan? And is there anything you have been doing to maintain your motivation to complete your master’s thesis under this gloomy circumstance?<Student A> I’ve been keeping myself busy with different tasks so that I can avoid thinking too much about the terrible conditions all over the world.<Student B> COVID-19 has spread all over the world, so we have to tackle this situation by taking some precautionary measures, which I have been doing.<Student C> I feel lucky because the COVID-19 situation in my country is far worse than in Japan, and here I don’t have to practice as much confinement as my parents and colleagues do back home.<Student D> I feel afraid of facing with COVID-19 because here in Japan, I have no family to take care of me. But on the other hand, Japan has better medical services than my country, and JICA and ICHARM have been taking really good care of us.

Thanks to the hard work on the learning side and the enthusiasm on the teaching side.
Q: How do you feel about being caught in the COVID-19 pandemic during the training in Japan? And is there anything you have been doing to maintain your motivation to complete your master’s thesis under this gloomy circumstance?<Student A> I’ve been keeping myself busy with different tasks so that I can avoid thinking too much about the terrible conditions all over the world.<Student B> COVID-19 has spread all over the world, so we have to tackle this situation by taking some precautionary measures, which I have been doing.<Student C> I feel lucky because the COVID-19 situation in my country is far worse than in Japan, and here I don’t have to practice as much confinement as my parents and colleagues do back home.<Student D> I feel afraid of facing with COVID-19 because here in Japan, I have no family to take care of me. But on the other hand, Japan has better medical services than my country, and JICA and ICHARM have been taking really good care of us.
