In September of last year, I wrote about “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.”

A program about the NPO was broadcast on NHK’s educational channel today:

“熊本県合志市では、NPO法人「外国から来た子ども支援ネットくまもと」を運営する日本語教師が自宅を開放し、無料で日本語を教えている。”

I missed it but, fortunately, it will be rebroadcast at midnight Thursday evening:

再放送6月9日(金)0:00(木曜深夜)
