Jonathan gave a lecture at one of the most historical and top level University in Tokyo, Sophia University. Over 110 audiences from Sophia University, Campus chapters, Campus Clubs, corporate and individual volunteers joined Jonathan’s lecture, “Building Homes, Building Hopes.” Jonathan introduced not only Habitat for Humanity, but also his own philosophy and beliefs of life to the audience.
After the lecture, Jonathan had dinner and recognition with Campus Chapters, Campus Clubs and potential donors.
Awards were given from HFHJ to Campus Chapters in Kansai area, “Rits BLOH (Ritsumeikan University)” for the biggest number of GV participants, and another Campus Chapter in Tokyo area “Shanti Shanti (Aoyama Gakuin University)” for the group advocacy award. It is very rare for Japanese students to meet and discuss with CEO of big organization like Habitat for Humanity. This opportunity meeting Jonathan showed Japanese youth that each of the volunteer is the strong and important partner for Habitat for Humanity.
