Volunteers for the Visually Impaired (VVI)
| Inspiring and fun volunteer
experience |
Throughout the
year, VVI gives needed English language support to the visually
impaired community in the Tokyo area. Have an inspiring and fun
volunteer experience in 2010 by taking part in VVI! Here’s what
we do:
* English Conversation class at the Japan Vocational
Development Center for the Blind, held weekly on Thursday
afternoons from 1 -3 pm. To find out more about this program,
pair up as an assistant to the regular volunteer teacher to see
firsthand if you’d like to take part on a more regular basis.
* At Tsukuba High School for the Blind, VVI volunteers
help students prepare for the interview section of EIKEN English
language proficiency tests upon request of the school, twice a
year.
* English Conversation Gatherings are get-togethers to
provide Japanese visually impaired adults an opportunity for
enjoying English through interesting, cross-cultural programs.
Held about 3-4 times a year, all CWAJ members and family are
welcome to take part.
No previous experience with the disabled is necessary to take
part in any VVI program. All CWAJ members are warmly welcomed to
join in the fun and inspiring programs of VVI!
