My First New Year’s Party The party proceeded with the soft, flowing voice of Ms Katsuoka, Chairperson of the International Exchange Committee. Ms Reiko Kato, the president of Meguro UNESCO, presented the opening speech full of love and peace. In the speeches that followed, the guests spoke each of their valuable stories in the fifty years of Meguro UNESCO’s history. The UNESCO spirit was engraved in every word they spoke. Indeed, the speeches were not the highlight of the party for all, but no one was to blame. The purpose was to promote mutual friendship among the members, so the more cheerful the better. All the friendship members and the welcoming atmosphere were enough to show the broad-mindedness, strength, and the rich experience of Meguro UNESCO. With the well-organized programs, and the variety of appetizing dishes the members had brought, everybody enjoyed the party thoroughly, eating, drinking, and singing. At the end of the party, Vice President Mr Hirata made a speech advocating the principles of Meguro UNESCO. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
