Volunteer activity

Hi,
I'm Daito
,and today is May.5th


i helped the event named "kodomonohi".
my work was making name tag for children.
this work was to talk a lot of people,
so i was able to talk with a lot of people.


and these people are interested in japan,
so i was able to talk easily.

there were many American people who married Japanese woman.
so, their children can speak english and japanese.
but the children go to japanese school on saturday.
i think it's sooo hard for children.


i dont't know which is better.
but definitely their horizens are broadened.

because they have many times to touch another culture.
almost japanese can speak only japanese.
this is big difference btw Japan and other countries.


i don't wanna say japan is weak.
i wanna say japan is loved by another country.
this is amazing thing right?

i'm proud of japan.
but we have to study more harder.
