I learned recently that there is a non-profit organization in Kumamoto that was established to help children and young people of mixed roots study Japanese, finish their homework, and perhaps even more importantly interact with teachers and other young people that understand the challenges, both academic and interpersonal, that children of mixed roots often face in Japan. My daughter has been helping out there recently and saying “if only I had known about them when I was in school!” If you are the parent of a child whom you think might benefit or would be willing to help as a teacher or supporter, please contact the groups founder and representative, Tomoko Takemura, at the e-mail address you see in the 4th image.
