Current partner
Thanks to the efforts of our partners the GLH regional hub at the University of Costa Rica, on 27th May a fourth Hiroshima Ginkgo tree was planted at the residence of the Ambassador of Japan in San José, Costa Rica. The ceremony was covered by news media, sharing with a wider audience the message of peace and resilience embodied by Hiroshima's survivor trees.
GLH received exciting updates from our partner Dr. Gerardo Avalos, that the structures/procedures for regional hub system functions for Latin America are now in place at the University of Costa Rica (UCR). The next country seeds will be sent to through is Mexico. Please look out for updates regarding all the new communities we will reach thanks to UCR!
On a private visit to Japan, Dr. Warner from the University of Costa Rica visited GLH in Hiroshima.
Organized by Dr. Gerardo Avalos, main campus planting ceremony at the University of Costa Rica.
“We had a large audience in attendance, along with the main authorities of the University of Costa Rica, including its Director, Dr. Carlos Araya Leandro, and representatives from the Embassy of Japan and the Costa Rican Foreign Service. The speeches were filled with inspirational messages and words of hope.”
It is with great pleasure that we welcome the University of Costa Rica as the GLH Regional Hub for Central and Latin America. We are especially thankful to Dr. Gerardo Avalos without whose passion and commitment to the hibakujumoku this milestone would not be possible. We are looking forward to collaborating with him and his team to spread the message of peace and resilience with more partners in Latin America, which can pride itself in the Treaty of Tratelolco, safeguarding the region as a nuclear-weapon-free zone. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki trees will surely thrive happily there.
