A volunteer’s perspective (GB – 2 of 2)
03 months ago
Over winter vacation we were lucky enough to have a large amount of volunteers come up to Ishinomaki to help out. Some of these volunteers happen to have a talent for writing, and did a write up of their experiences on their personal websites. The following entry was written by Brent Jones, an incredibly goofy English teacher and writer who lives in Saitama. His write up reads like a review of INJM and, unsurprisingly, it is all very positive. I definitely didn’t edit out any negative comments he might have had slating my fashion sense or something equally important. - Jamie

INJM Fundraiser!
05 months ago
ブログのエントリを書くのは久しぶりだね！(It’s been a long time since I wrote a blog entry!)
We are all doing well here in Ishinomaki, and working hard! Maybe too hard, because the “very little” time I had for blogging has been reduced to “very little time to think about blogging”.
So why the exception?
It’s for Christmas!
I’m not a Christmas person, but a lot of Children in Ishinomaki are! Well, I say they are, they are probably big fans of getting presents more than anything. Either way, they definitely like toys.
So when one friend contacted me about wanting to do a kind of fundraiser, I suggested collecting toys!
So that’s what we’ll do!
The fund raiser will take place in my old hometown of Osaka! You can find all the details to the INJM fundraiser by clicking on this link, which takes you to the facebook event page. But if you’re lazy, I have shamelessly copied all the info below! Big thanks to Linda, Silvia, Verity and everyone else who has worked so hard on this event.
Winter is coming..

Ever since watching Game of Thrones this summer when I was in the UK, anytime someone said “Winter is coming” I would secretly (sometimes not so secretly) giggle to myself.
