Every year UNI-LCJ sets up ‘UNI desk’ at National Conferences of some Japanese affiliates to make UNI more visible and relevant to delegates and members. Taking these opportunities, it also raises funds for social contributions and showing global solidarity.

In 2008, UNI-LCJ sought donations to assist our Mongolian friends in establishing an IT Center in Mongolia. On 17 May 2009, Bro Sakurada, Chairperson of UNI-LCJ visited Ulaanbaatar to attend the opening ceremony of the ‘Communicators Center’ and passed the generous donation. Following on 29 June, when UNI-LCJ Youth Delegation also visited there, Bro. Erdensaikhan, UNI-LC Mongolia explained the background of the idea to establish the Center, the future plan of its utilization, and thanked for supports from Japan and India to realize their dream. The Communicators Center is expected to provide not only IT skills but also language trainings such as Japanese and English, which is expected to nurture “unity” among Mongolian union members as well as contribute to improve their employability.

The donation campaign in 2009 aims to support more young and women delegates from developing unions in the Asia-Pacific region to join the 3rd UNI World Congress and other events in Nagasaki in 2010. JPGU and JSD conferences were held in June and NWJ and JOHO-ROREN conferences in July. This campaign will continue until September when there will be other affiliates Conferences, where UNI-LCJ is to set up UNI desk.

It is encouraged and indeed some Youth committees in other countries are also starting fund-raising.
