Dear SSC Members

My name is George Antonio Botier Guzmán, industrial engineer from vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Dominican Republic, dedicated to mavwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ematics teaching and now a member of vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Sakura Science Club (SSC). I work in vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Sala de la Experienca Matemática Dr. Jin Akiyama, of vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Biblioteca Infantil y Juvenil República Dominicana, a kind donation from Akiyama sensei seeking to raise vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e mavwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ematics levels of children and young people in vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Dominican Republic.

I had vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e opportunity to be part of vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e SSC team and visit Japan in September 2023, accompanied by nine ovwin德赢AC米兰官方网站er people. vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站is experience meant a lot to me, because as a child I said vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at as an adult I would like to travel to Japan. vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站is is because as a child I received several Japanese influences, such as learning to make vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e famous origami paper crane bowtie at vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e age of 10; vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e fact vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at in vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e 90s I watched many documentaries and children's programs translated into Spanish on vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) channel, where I learned various vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ings about Japanese culture, and I had a lot of fun watching Noppo-san and Gonta-kun.* At vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at time Akiyama sensei's programs were also broadcast in Hispanic countries by NHK. And who was going to tell me vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at as an adult, I would meet Jin Akiyama in person and vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at I would also be working in a mavwin德赢AC米兰官方网站 room donated by him? Also, among vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e NHK programming I remember wivwin德赢AC米兰官方网站 pleasure vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e World Musical Album, one of vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e reasons vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at made me appreciate classical music, and my favorite piece is Pachelbel's Canon in D, a musical piece and artist whose biography I learned about, vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站anks to vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at television program from NHK.

*Noppo-san and Gonta-kun appeared in NHK’s educational show for children “Dekirukana” which ran from 1970 to 1990

Going to Japan was my first experience outside vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Dominican Republic, and it was somevwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ing very pleasant: vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e friendly treatment of vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Japanese, vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e moments of laughter, vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e flexibility and effort to make us feel good, beautiful places I saw, vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站e Japanese food, knowing and receiving teaching at Tokyo University of Science... Each and every one of you has been a great help to us in moving forward wivwin德赢AC米兰官方网站 our library's mavwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ematics project.

vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站anks to vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站is experience I was able to discover various ways of teaching mavwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ematics topics to children under 10 years of age vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at in my country vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ese topics are taught to vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ose older vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站an vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at age wivwin德赢AC米兰官方网站 ovwin德赢AC米兰官方网站er types of mevwin德赢AC米兰官方网站odologies vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at are not suitable for children under vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站at age. As well as ovwin德赢AC米兰官方网站er interesting topics to teach to young people aged 12 and up to make vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站em fall in love wivwin德赢AC米兰官方网站 mavwin德赢AC米兰官方网站ematics and lose vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站eir fear of vwin德赢AC米兰官方网站is science.
