by Yoko Morita, UNITAR Hiroshima Office<br><br> This column “Hello from UNITAR” began in May 2018 to celebrate our 15th anniversary. This article marks the thirtieth column, and the concluding one as the year draws to a close. We appreciate you following us as we shared our activities and people directly with you. <br><br> Preparing for these columns enhanced my opportunities to listen deeply to the stories of participants and colleagues. They are motivated by their passions, whether it is to improve themselves, build a stronger society, or spread peace. These passions have inspired me, and I hope that they have reached you through these columns, too. <br><br> UNITAR Hiroshima Office will continue to enhance and expand our training programmes for next 15 years. By March 2019, we will implement a new training programme for Syrian people, bring new participants to Hiroshima for the Nuclear Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Training Programme, as well as the Sahel Region Anti-Corruption Training Programme. Our new initiatives in the near future include several online courses and events for the community of Hiroshima. Thank you again, and see you! <br><br> (Originally published on December 18, 2018)
