The University of Aizu received a generous donation of fresh vegetables from a neighbour living near the University on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the resident's kind gesture toward our international students.
We are grateful to the donor for their understanding that rising food costs are a significant burden for foreign students studying in Japan, and for their continued donations over many years.
When we informed the international students that we had received a donation of vegetables, many of them expressed their gratitude, saying, "this is very helpful" and "we really appreciate it," and took the donated vegetables home with them.
At the same time, it was a valuable opportunity for the international students to realize that they are able to carry out their daily lives abroad here in Japan, thanks to the warmst support of the local community.
