Bai Junshi（白 浚石）
I came to Japan on March 2023 from Hebei Province,China. I am now studying at Keio University as amaster student. I have concern in art, sports andpiano.
My friend introduced me to Minami lounge and I
decided to register as a multicultural volunteer.
I experienced introducing Chinese culture, supportingchildren at school and teaching Chinese as avolunteer. I was impressed by the students stronginterest in Chinese culture.
By volunteering various activities, my Japanese
language skills have improved greatly and helped me
make new friends.
It also helped me get used toJapanese living style.

※Minami lounge is seeking for volunteers who can help us by their language skills (especially Nepali, Tagalog and Vietnamese
needed.) and also by sharing their motherland culture. If you are interested, please contact Minami Lounge!
