Supporters from France Visit PBV Office in Japan

Supporters of PBV from France recently visited our office in Tokyo during a trip to Japan. The visit provided a valuable opportunity for PBV to connect directly with its international supporters and express gratitude for their ongoing monthly donations. They recalled, “We first learned about PBV through social media coverage of the Noto Peninsula earthquake.” Their unwavering support has continued since that time.

Looking ahead, PBV hopes to organize events to engage more directly with our supporters.
