It was my honor to be selected from Nepal to participate in 6th Asia Esperanto Congress held from 19th to 23rd June in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I got this opportunity through ULBA-Youth Wing, Nepal and ULBA Esperanto Association, Nepal. Since my involvement in ULBA Youth Wing Nepal, I got lots of chance to participate in various programmes which are mostly concentrated to serve our community. Besides that, I also got the chance to learn Esperanto Language which is promoted to make one language for one world. Learning this language broadened my chance to different world.

For the Congress in Mongolia, I left Nepal at 11:45 p.m. on 16th June. I was very much excited because it was my first international visit. This gave me opportunity to experience many new things. To be selected as the only applicant from Nepal, made me more responsible and built self confidence in me. I reached Kunming at 05:00 a.m. I took my next flight to Beijing because Beijing was the place where I was to meet other members from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Philippines and Mr. Katsuya Kimura from Japan. I am really thankful to Mr. Kimura because he systematically coordinated our entire team visit. I am very happy that I got so many nice friends in this short visit.

We reached Ulaanbaatar, the Capital of Mongolia on 19th June. Many Mongolian friends guided us there and helped us during our conference. We got a chance to see Mongolia, their life styles, beautiful places, experience their wonderful cultures, etc.
Each day in conference, I learned and experience many new things by participating in various programs. Most exciting for me is the speech contest because I am afraid to face the mass but I could do it with the encouragement of other performers. Now I am much confident in delivering speech in front of mass people. We went camping and stayed at mongolian tent, which is its kind. It was nice to see unspoiled land with full of nature. We really enjoyed camping. Besides, we involved in interaction programs which broadened my intellectual level.

We got a chance to enjoy beautiful Mongolian music from Native. They were awesome. I got the opportunity to meet many Esperantists from worldwide too. They were very encouraging and interesting people. I learned many things from them and it
broadened my mind to higher level. Since we are representative of ULBA from different countries, we were also involved in ULBA Oomoto programs. I also got a chance to observe and take part in praying of ULBA Oomoto, in Mongolia. Finally, we had a successful congress. These are my unforgettable memories of my life.

I really had a wonderful and meaningful visit with lots of beautiful and new experiences. I feel now more responsible towards my duties and more confident. I am really thankful to ULBA Youth Wing Nepal and ULBA Esperanto Association Nepal for giving me such an opportunity. For a student like me, it is great thing because I would not have been able to do this on my own so successfully. I will always go through the path of ULBA. ULBA’s principles and activities are most appreciated in the context of Nepal’s conflict. As being a citizen of a country, one has some responsibilities to fulfill for their country. So, I would like to retain peace and brotherhood in my country.

NPO-JINRUI AIZENKAI INTERNATIONAL
6th ASIAN ESPERANTO CONGRESS
ULAANBAATAR MONGOLIA
JULY 17-JULY 24, 2010

Marinduque, Philippines

PARTICIPANT’S REPORT

MONGOLIA, as one of the distant neighbors of the Philippines, has vast lands cultured by its people. It is compact, not even divided by bodies of water, but surrounded by them making the Chinese and Mongolian people brave and strong in facing life’s adversities.

Scenic views of some places of Mongolia’s spacious cities, that mark its civilization and open villages enhancing its tradition are all significant features of the country, the hotel, the inviting parts and well-developed pavements of which we happened to land on are important factors of which tourist are attracted of. Edifices that would guarantee the total support and services to each people exist not only in the cities but also in villages. It is also impressing to note that the community talks and the government go hand in hand to elevate living standards through education.

That privileged visit to Mongolia brought me a deeper sense and wider outlook as to my functions in the organization. It’s nice to meet people as to encourage them work better through examples. Each worth sharing experiences by continuously holding up the program the National and Local activities will introduce or promote…the NPOJINRUI AIZENKAI.

Since my fellow delegates came from different countries, much is expected in each of us. That “cooperation” started and will last according to the support we extended to each other. When I came to my senses after the heartwarming escapades I had in Mongolia, I realized that NPO-JINRUI has really touched a lot of lives. I for one was very lucky to meet new friends, see a different culture and tradition and experience the joy of travel at the age of 16.

Through the NPO-JINRUI AIZENKAI International under SECRETARY GENERAL KATSUYA KIMURA, I was able to see a bigger and brighter world for real. A big thanks to him. With God’s blessings and perhaps a destiny, I was able to travel alone in my entire life safe and back home wealthy of memorable experiences. With the eight (8) day travel I had, I felt great that I was able to experiences independence and thus discipline myself and able to manage my time and resources as an individual.

What more could we ask for… the LORD has granted me a very rare opportunity, an experience I will forget in my entire life and to NPO-JINRUI AIZENKAI INTERNATIONAL…more power to the organization!

To be honest, I believe it was my luck to be chosen as a student representative 6th Asia Esperanto Congress which was held in Mongolia 2010. Therefore, I would like to take this chance as an opportunity to thank Mr.Randiligama and Mr.Kimura who encourage, bless and support me whole heartedly. The congress was surprisingly wonderful experience for me. Also I think there nobody who couldn’t found the worth of the congress. There were many people who were gathered to this special occasion and it was a great privilege for me to get to know more about Esperanto and different culture identities.

The best thing I highly noticed and I highly valued was the unity and humanity amongst Esperantist. They were very friendly and supportive for students who were new to Esperanto by helping each and every one without any discrimination to gain knowledge about Esperanto. Moreover, I understood the necessity of single international language which helps everyone to communicate and share views properly. We all communicate with Esperanto as far as we could and we all gain a lot more knowledge about Esperanto we never had before within seven days. Japanese Esperantists had designed various interesting programs for both new and old Esperantists which I found truly valuable to my foundation of Esperanto. Simultaneously we got to know about old Japanese cultural and religion’s rituals which engraved as unforgettable experience in our minds.

Evermore, I have to mention their sophisticated hospitability of Mongolian people and everybody who had put their immense effort to organize this congress. Finally, I would like to thank each and everybody who organized and sponsored to make this event a fabulously success.
