Migrants and community service

As I have mentioned in my previous posts, NHK WORLD JAPAN TV Channel brings out very good documentaries. One of these is 'Where We Call Home'.

This evening's episode of the program featured a migrant from Bangladesh who is settled in Japan for more than twenty years. Married to a Japanese woman, he and his wife serve the local community in Japan as well as his native village in Bangladesh. The episode also features a migrant from Morocco who helps the local community in Japan. Let me share the episode.
