During the New Year’s holidays when most people spend time at home, there are people in our communities enduring cold weather and have lost their jobs and livelihoods due to covid crisis.
GCI is holding consultation sessions on New Year’s Eve, when local governments and other public institutions are closed, for foreigners in trouble who face the risk of income decrease, losing a residency, and facing language barriers in order to support them to welcome the new year with a little bit of hope.
At the same time as offering consultations for foreign residents who need help, we also provide multilingual consultations about daily life in Japan, employment support for foreigners to rebuild a life for the future and provide food so that they can welcome the New Year without losing hope even during the cold season.
