Kuwachang

On the night of September 14, 2009, I had a chance to interview Mr. Masataka Kuwada of Higashi, Osaka, Japan. He is 22 years old, he has been staying in the country for a month to learn English. He hopped from one place to the other in the neighboring town but he is based in Trece Martires City, Cavite. Masataka is a member of World CARP an International campus-based organization that raises young leaders of character who live for the greater good and build a culture of true love.

Masataka introduced himself as “Kuwachang”, a handsome young man with thin body structure but stands over 6 feet tall. He was born in Kanawaga prefecture. Later on, the family transferred to his father ‘s hometown in Hiroshima when he was about five year of age; while his father worked and stayed in Osaka . After graduating in high school, they moved to Osaka, obviously so the family could be together in one place.

He had experience working in a convenient store as staff. “It's like Seven Eleven he stressed..” He also worked on and off in a company which facilitates the house transfer services. He used to carry furniture, appliances and other things.

He studied Economics major in accounting. He shared interesting subjects integrated with his course where they study the most effective way of helping poorer countries. His evaluation is that education is the best help Japan could ever offer more than money. Money he said is not the solution. Since Japan has been a known donor to third world countries, education over charity has gain more success in their wide range of experiences.

He loves basketball, football, fishing, camping, play guitar, drums and singing. He surprised us in a videoke session when he sung modern English songs.

He had composed 10 songs so far and dreamed of making more. His messages are about family and his generation.
