#12 A Japanese Actor who believed in Vietnam and its Voice

There are a few Western cultures that have not really taken a root in Japan. One of them is volunteering. In Japanese mind, people are programmed to act based on the principle that our actions are for others not for ourselves.Therefore, when we are asked if we want to volunteer, hesitation comes first instead of taking action. For the same reason, the concept of Philanthropist is not understood very well as it is considered to be something that the only rich should do. However, there are a few famous figures who have kept taking actions to give to others for many years. Mr. Sugi Ryotaro is a very good example. He started as a popular actor. He is a former Special Ambassador to Japan and Vietnam at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Special Crime Prevention Officer at the National Police Agency. His volunteer work ranges from cultural exchange to disaster relief. One of the things he has been doing for many years is supporting education in Vietnam. Let’s see if learning from his actions may unbox Japan.
