Ignacio Higa (比嘉イグナシオ)　アルゼンチン　3世

１．両親や祖父母、親戚が移民をした理由

My great grandparents moved to South america (first Brazil, then Argentina) looking for a better life and work.

２．沖縄の人々に紹介したいこと、国や文化など

I think Okinawan people should try the habit of the “Mate”-cha which is a good way to socialize with people and make new friends.

３．あなたの国の日系社会について

The nikkei society in Argentina (of which most of them are okinawa-jin) is very popular in argentina, thanks to cultural
events (like Bon Odori). Sadly, i thnik most of us dont know how to talk in Nihongo, but they appreciate and respect the japanese culture, and keeps argentina`s nikkei society strong.

４．沖縄の子どもたちと若者へのメッセージ

I really enjoyed everyday i was in Okinawa, learning a lot of new things, and having so many expeciences. That is why, is you have the chance, go to other countries to learn about new cultures and to have a great time. You are all welcome to Argentina, so please,　come to my country someday.
