From August to September 2023, the IAfP coordinator traveled to South Africa and visited the partner universities, University of Pretoria (UP), Stellenbosch University(SU), Japanese Embassy, Consular Office and JICA Office.

At the partner universities, she contributed to built relationships between the universities and gathered information to promote exchange program, and held briefings for students on the project. At the University of Pretoria, Naosuke and Yuma who started studying at UP supported her with a project briefing and a tour of the student dormitory. At Stellenbosch University, she received full support from the Stellenbosch University Japan Center (SUJC), which had just opened in August.
