Rahmawati Hidayah (Yaya)

Yaya has a family history in Fukuoka: her father was an architecture ryugakusei Association. for six years and president of Kyushu University Foreign Students Yaya returned to Fukuoka, where she spent her Middle School years, to follow her father’s footsteps both into architecture at Kyushu University, and into student leadership. Now the incoming president of FOSA (Fukuoka Overseas Students Association), we asked Yaya about her plans for the future. “I want FOSA to reach as many people as possible, and to broaden our appeal across Kyushu. Many of our members who graduate lose contact with their friends here, so one of my plans is to collect together data on previous and current alumni”. This year will also see the first FOSA food festival in August, and a new Summer camp in September. “For new students who are far from home and may not speak Japanese, it can be very lonely,” Says Yaya. “FOSA helps people make friends and connect with other people.” If you’re interested in taking part in FOSA events contact fosa2009@googlegroups.com

 

 

 

 

ヤヤさんと、みんなに慕われる彼女は今期、福岡県留学生会(FOSA)の会長に就任。彼女のお父さんも建築を学ぶために九州大学に留学し九大留学生会の会長を務めた経験をもつ。そんなこともあって、今はインドネシアからの留学生として滞在中の彼女も、中学生時代は父親と一緒に福岡で過ごしたのだそう。親子二代続いて異国の同じ地にて責任ある役に就いた彼女に、会長としてどんなことをしたいのか尋ねてみた。「FOSAをできるかぎり多くの人に認知してもらい、福岡から九州へと広げたい。そして卒業してから連絡が途絶えてしまった留学生たちの連絡先をとりまとめて、次へと繋げるようにしたいの。」今年8月にはFOSA主催「食の祭典」を、そして9月にはサマーキャンプを予定している。「親元を離れて来た日本語を話さない新留学生たちはとっても孤独。私たちFOSAは、そんな新人たちが留学生活を充実できるようなサポートもしています。」FOSAの活動に興味がある人はfosa2009@googlegroups.comに問い合わせてみて。
