Schole Yamato
This is a great opportunity to experience alternative approaches to education in a unique rural setting in Japan. You will have the chance to learn about different teaching styles while living close to nature. You can also discover aspects of rural life, including farming and agriculture, and gain hands-on experience with local cultivation and daily life in the countryside.
You will be treated as a valued member of our team, just like one of our teachers, and also as part of our family. We aim to create a warm and supportive environment where everyone feels included and respected.

About the experience in: Tsu, Japan
Hungary
It is a very welcoming community and it feels like to be a part of a big family. As being said, if someone is really introverted or can be easily overwhelmed with many people, they might not enjoy it. I really enjoyed practicing japanese with the Japanese residents and with the kids. The nature there is beautiful and in your free days you can explore more locations!

Ilonggo fue una experiencia linda, nuestro apoyo fue en sus huertas agroecológicas y su granja donde disfrutamos alimentar a las gallinas a diario, algunas veces pudimos compartir y enseñar en su escuela alternativa que es un espacio de aprendizaje libre muy divertido, la familia es muy cálida y acogedora con los voluntarios, al principio es un poco confuso entender las dinámicas, luego entiendes que es más dejar fluir y disfrutar el trabajo, las áreas comunes son realmente el espacio donde todos comparten, fuimos en familia con mi hija de 14 años y ella también disfruto ser parte del equipo.

Nous avons été accueilli dans la famille de Mari san et Harold comme des membres de la famille. Nous avons découvert leur ferme en récoltant des légumes et riz, s'occuper des poules ..etc Une vraie ambiance familiale entre la famille et les volontaires. Beaucoup de promenade possibles dans les alentours grâce aux vélos électriques. Nous avons adoré notre passage ici ! Encore merci !

Ilongo is like my second family. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. At first, I mostly did housekeeping. It's a mix of easy tasks in the shared rooms and guesthouses, like washing the laundry and cleaning the guesthouses for guests. After those weeks I started teaching English at the rural school. The day starts with singing English songs (sunshine time). After that, we study English for half an hour. The children cook lunch and in the afternoon we usually do creative activities or sports. It's a small group of children, so it's pretty easy to manage. I love being here!! <3

I spent one month there, and sooner than expected we became family already. It is a place where you spend most of your time with other volunteers and the family, so you get to share a lot of different experiences with them (amazing ones). Marisan and Harold damn how they work every day from dawn to dusk, they are impressively hard workers but still they will find the time to make you feel home. There're different kind of jobs and it is very flexible and openminded so they let you do how you feel it, hours are as it should be, and its also nice to help in the house as a part of a community!
