When speaking of Japan’s top tourist destinations, Kyoto is always mentioned. The very word “Kyoto” brings to mind shrines, Buddhist temples, and a city where traditional Japanese culture and architecture are alive.

Kyoto is also home to two public aquariums: Kyoto Aquarium and Kyoto Hanazono Church Aquarium.

In one large city in Southeast Asia, the contrast between bustling development and deep-rooted poverty is striking. For many immigrants and low-income workers, the promise of a better life often feels just out of reach, particularly when it comes to providing their children with an education. Amid this struggle, Zion Church of the Nazarene, through its initiative called the "Love Class,” offers a ray of hope to the community. This church is located in a neighborhood rife with economic hardship, drug addiction, and violence, issues that can impact students’ attendance.
