New Program Development Launched in 1999, FCP is designed to build lasting collaborations between Japanese and　U.S. nonprofits working on issues of common concern. The FCP Program recently held two Forums on Nonprofit Collaboration in Oakland, California and Washington, D.C. The following joint projects and participating organizations were showcased at the Forums in late October and early November. FCP currently is planning for its 2001 program. Ongoing FCP Projects American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and Shanti Volunteer Association (SVA) are exploring a joint protocol that will allow for coordinated response between the two organizations on disaster relief and other assistance programs internationally. AFSC and Hamamatsu NPO Network Center (N-Pocket) held a series of events that will support their common interest in immigrant labor issues and are developing long-term fundraising and research plans to sustain their collaborative work. Children's Express (CE) and the Network on the Convention of the Rights of the Child (NCRC) implemented a summer training program for children from Japan who will become future leaders in a CE bureau in Tokyo. Following a comprehensive training by journalists in CE's New York bureau, these children participated in an international team reporting on the U.S. Republican Convention in Philadelphia for major media. SeniorNet and Sendai Citizens' Network for Seniors (SCNS) have developed a platform for communication on the Internet between U.S. and Japanese seniors. SeniorNet and Smart Valley Japan (SVJ) will jointly establish a SeniorNet learning Center in Los Angeles to provide opportunities in Japanese for Japanese-American and other senior communities in LA to exchange ideas with seniors in Japan.
