N & N Corporation (non-profit organization)
Profile
- Introduction
Our organization has been involved in volunteer activity since 1985, when Tsukuba Expo ‘ 85 was held in Ibaraki Prefecture ( registered as a GG-Good-will guide, and next year as SGG-Systematized Good-will Guide ). And then we have been pursuing international collaboration in our community to support foreign visitors and residents through translation and interpretation.
As you know we had the tragedy of big earthquake in Hanshin Awaji -Southwest District of Japan ? in 1996, when the Japanese government recognized the necessity of volunteer organization in Japan. That’s why the Act of NPO was enforced soon after that. Our organization has been registered in 1999 as the 10th incorporated npo in Ibaraki Prefecture.
- Objective
We’re really interested in helping foreigners in our community, because we have approximately more than several thousands alien residents, including overstaying, who have many problems in their living, such as communication, working, or raising children. We do consulting on the phone or in person. ( in five languages, English, Portuguese, Chinese, Thai and tagalong )
And also we offer our community English teaching classes for kids to adults, who are interested in international exchange, as we understand they need to improve their English to communicate better, and also their ability of appealing themselves and their identity.
- Final Goal
We are pursuing to get the world-wide peace for both of our Japanese people and alien residents’ happy and comfortable life in Japan. We think it necessary to cultivate our idea how to make our life better, so that we can make people from other countries happy in Japan as well.
- Membership
We have now about thirty people, who are interested in our activity and learning English as well. Anyone who wants to participate in our activity is always welcome. (Above fifteen years old)
Volunteer interpreters are needed.

Message
|
I’ve been involved in the sister city program since 1991, when I first visited the United States of America, and also that’s the moment my dream has just come true since my twenty’s.
On behalf of N & N Corporation, I would like to offer the internship
program for students of HSU, because I understand those students who desire to study or live abroad have the same feeling as I had before, and people in Kamisu Town really want to have you as an English teacher, I’m sure. I think it’s a good cultural exchange for both of us.
