His close friends, Australian actress Elizabeth “Betty” Bryant-Silverstein and her husband, a director, Maurice “Red” Silverstein, were inspired and decided to found the organization in 1968. The strategy of the new non-governmental organization was developed in 1967 after a consulting visit with to Melanesia and Polynesia, where a nine-volume report of a than Foundation for the Peoples of the South Pacific (FSP) had been elaborated. The first office of FSP was officially inaugurated in 1968 in Sydney. The organization gradually became one of the leading NGOs in Australia. The Foundation opened its office in the USA, which at present is known as Counterpart International. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Foundation for the Peoples of Asia and the Pacific」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
