Voices from the Volunteers
Mr. TB“Hello! Do you remember me?”, avoice from the school groundwelcomes me. The student who I
supported 3 years ago is already a
5th grader. I think the classes
became more lively in a good way by
the influence of the foreign relatedclassmates.
Supporting children at school

Mr. KF(Japanese)

I wanted to help others with mygained knowledge, so I decided tovolunteer. However by volunteering,
I found out that there are more things
I need to learn and to gain.

(Japanese)

Children which I support always
greet “Hello!” to me with a bigsmile. Seeing the smile, itwarms my heart and makes me
happy from the morning.

Ms. YK(Nepali）

Ms. MK(Chinese)

I wanted to support students whocame from China by my mothertongue. I didn’t have confidence yet,but with the advice from otherexperienced volunteers, I now enjoy
the activity.
This volunteer activity is worthful tojoin.
