Dear JENESYS 2nd Batch Delegates:

WE regret to inform you that due the regrettable and unforeseeable developments in relation to the A(H1N1) virus in Japan, the implementation of the Japan- East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths (JENESYS) Program 10-day visit to Japan for the second batch will have to be postponed to a later schedule until the situation is under control.

The dates of the new schedule will be communicated to you as soon as it becomes available. We are hopeful that the program will be implemented within the year. However, in the event that the situation has not improved, rest assured that for next year's implemetation, all participants, Student Ambassadors, and Supervisors, are automatically included in the next year's implementation.

The National Youth Commission will update you on any developments regarding the implementation of the program. In this regard, we would like to request that you inform the National Youth Commission if there will be any changes in your contact details, i.e. mailing address, e-mail address, mobile and landline number.

All administrative matters regarding your return to your hometowns will be taken care of.

Please understand that this decision was arrived at with all difficulty and regret, with everybody's welfare and health at utmost importance.

We ask for your kind understanding. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

National Youth Commission (NYC)
