support for japanese language education in the us - the education of japanese-speaking americans is an extremely important issue for nurturing the next generation of individuals who will take on the responsibility for the u. S. -japan relations and for stregthening the foundation of the u. S. -japan partnership. With this in mind, the jcawf decided to establish multiple projects which, by supporting japanese education in the washington, d. C. Metropolitan area in various ways, together provide opportunities for young americans to learn about japan and its culture, fostering interest in japanese language study, and ultimately providing these youths with opportunities to consider careers that utilize their japanese language skills. This program included grants to 19 schools, universities and educational organizations in the area.

japanese new year's festival in washington - the japanese new year's festival in washington was planned and held jointly by the jcaw and the jcaw foundation. We have identified the festival as a crucial program in furthering cultural exchange and mutual understanding between japan and the united states. Therefore, our mission, more than ever, will be to have as many area residents as possible witness the japanese new year festivities, and deepen their understanding of traditional japanese events and current japanese trends while enjoying themselves at the festival.
