GLH Worldwide Partners: Argentina

Argentina Japanese school “Nichia Gakuin”

Visit by Ms. Keiko Miyagi of the Buenos Aires Japanese Garden to Hiroshima on 14 April - the connection established by Julio Bernal - GLH partner in Argentina. A rainy but moving encounter with the survivor trees.

One year has passed since Nichia Gakuin in Argentina applied to GLH (4 March 2012). The development of “Seeds of Peace” Project was explained by our committed friend and partner, Julio Bernal, to the local community.

Seeds of GLH in Argentina are advancing, and growing in leaps and bounds! See below dedicated website: "Seeds of Peace."
GLH is introduced in various media (TV, Radio, and Magazine) in Argentina with support of Mr. Julio Bernal from Nichia Gakuin. See the article in La Nacion revista, 7 October 2012 (In Spanish)
