Happy Tanabata! We're so glad you're able to join us today. Now if only Orihime and Hikoboshi can be so lucky!
NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION (NGO) 非政府組織(NGO)
- A non-governmental organization or NGO is an organization that is not part of government, but whose purpose is to help society by working on social, cultural, or environmental issues.
- non-governmental organization、略して NGO は、社会、文化、環境問題に貢献することを目的とする政府外の組織のことです。
- I'm a member of the Berlitz Fund for Peace. It's a non-governmental organization that works to promote peace by providing low-interest microloans (= very small loans) to farmers and small businesses in poor nations.
- Most non-governmental organizations are also non-profit organizations. They exist primarily to benefit society, not to create wealth.
- Many of the larger NGOs actively lobby governments for policy change.
- The conference was attended by government officials, academics, and NGO representatives.
We wish you well!
