It is a particular honor, during this diffi-cult year, for the Ireland Fund of Japan to welcome our sponsors and guests to the Emerald Ball.

We would also like to extend our thanks to our guest of honor Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado.

This organization is dedicated to raising funds in support of arts and culture as well as education and community development both in Japan and Ireland and, where pos-sible, to build upon existing links in these areas between the two countries.

Our secondary school exchange program has been a great success since 2006; we have continued it through 2007 and 2008. All students have enjoyed the program immensely, and it has been a learning ex-perience for all involved, in many ways. Our intention is to continue with this extremely beneficial cultural exercise for many years to come. These exchanges are developing an ever-deepening friendship between Irish and Japanese people.

The parades held in Japan during the St. Patrick’s Day festival period continue to be a major focus. The Ireland Fund will

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

continue to support these events to the best of our ability. Nine cities in Japan will host St. Patrick’s Day parades this year!

The Ireland Fund is also keen to recog-nize requirements for charitable contribu-tions in Japan. In this regard, the fund is involved in a program supporting home-less people in Osaka. Fr. Takayama, of the Jesuit Order, is feeding over 800 people on a weekly basis. We are thankful to Fr. Takayama for his great work.

Our work can only continue as a result of your generous support. We need this sup-port to continue but we do not take it for granted. We know it is the keystone of our existence. We must earn that support with responsible professional behaviour and delivery of worthwhile initiatives.

The Emerald Ball this evening takes place due to the efforts of the Chairperson, Andrew Nolan and his fellow committee members. I would like to congratulate all those involved for making this evening such an enjoyable event.

Thank you all for coming and sharing this special evening with us.

Gerry LaniganPresident, The Ireland Fund of Japan

日本アイルランド基金は、今日の厳しい時勢の折、皆様方にお越しいただけたことを誠に光栄に思っております。

また、本日ご出席を賜りました高円宮妃殿下に、厚く御礼を申し上げます。

私たち団体は基金を通じて両国を含む様々な国の伝統、文化、そして社会の発展に役立つ教育を支援することを目的とすると共に、これらの国々において両国の絆を深めていくことも重視しております。

2006年当初より両国の交換留学プログラムは大きな成果を挙げており、2007年、2008年にも引き続き行われてきました。参加した生徒達はこのプログラムを心から楽しみ、様々なことを学ぶ機会に恵まれました。この価値あるプログラムを通じて留学生達の間に失われない友情が芽生えさせたことでしょう。今後も繰り返して行きたいと思っております。

聖パトリックの日に日本で行われるパレードは大きな注目を浴びています。今年度は国内９ヶ所で行われる

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

予定になっており、私たちはこれからもこれらパレードの支援を継続していきたいと思います。

私たちは他にも支援の必要な団体に着目しており、その一環として大阪のホームレスに援助をしており、毎週800人を超える方々に食事を提供しています。

私たちの活動は皆様方のご支援なくては成り立ちません。集まった基金は決して粗末にはせず、心から感謝をして最大限に有効活用させていただきます。今後の支援の為にも全ての面において私たちは最善をつくしたいと思っております。

2009年度エメラルドボールは委員長のアンドリュー・ノーランと彼率いるチームによって開催されました。彼らのすばらしい仕事振りに感謝したいと思います。

本日この特別な席を皆様と共にすることが出来ますことを心より感謝しております。
