New Semester Starts on 4ll4l2A15 (fue)-Japanese l-essons at Kunitachi Kominkan

SBy Arprl 19, this will have been my fifth year in Japan, being an
Economic Gladuate in Hitotsubashi Univerisity from Vietnam.
Four years ago, I anived in Japan when the full bloom of cherry
blossoms has just finished, leaving the green of new-born leaves.
From that moment, I have had a series of first experiences likeliving in a dorm, skiing, travelling using the Seishun 18 kippu forJR train, climbing Mt. Fuji. Along the way, I had the chance tomeet with Japanese and Vietnamese and other foreigners living inJapan. I realized that so many foreigners do not speak Japaneseand so many Japanese are interested in Vietnam. From last April, I
began my Phd course, where I started to think about using my freetime for something meaningful. I decided to volunteer forcommunity activities in Kunitachi area and join the BETOAJI'sVietnamese cooking class with a view to assisting people toconnect with each other beyond the language barriers.

O BETOAJI's Vietnamese Cooking ClassBE"IOAJI is an organization of Vietnamese students

ation foronce in aInq」 ry Kuitaci Ko揃 nkan:C142‑572‑5141(lnfOma60n from Ku出 ぃchi ci、 Kominb口 )studying in Japan that aims to introduce Vietnam's culture
to people in Japan, while at the same time assist poor
children in Vietnam, We have organized cooking classes andcultural events in different places in Japan. In Tokyo, weorganize cooking classes on the third or fourth Saturday
every motnth at Academy Mukogaoka in Bunkyo District,
where about 30 Japanese and some American and German
regularly attend.
We donate the participation fees for 50 children in Central
Vietnam with the amount of 6()0 yen per month for each. It

may first seem so few but it is actually helping thesechildren, whose parents eam only about 5fi) yen per month,
to be able to go to class without having to work on the field

to earn some extra money for the family. This activityConsulangお avahble for Foreign Residents
At KnHnitachi Ciけ Hall
It is available to adjust the date and time to theforeign people who needs the consulting.

Residens Consulting Corner at Kuniachi City Hallmeans a lot to me who receives a scholarship to study inJapan.

Joining BETOAJI's cooking class also helps me gain

confidence in introducing about Vietnamese food. Last
November, I was able to successfully teach Vietnamese
spring roll and harusame soup in Kunitachi. I feel likeconnecting myself among activities.

It is going to be my fifth spring in Japan rvhen I am
looking forward to seeing the full bloom of cherry blossom
in Kunitachi Daigaku Street. Till then, let us greet eachother with a big smile.
