Hello everyone, I’m Hono Kawamura. I’m a native of Japan and my hometown is Osaka, which is in the middle part of japan. I’m a 21-year-old and I consider myself optimistic. I live with my family, father, mother, grandmother and one-year-older brother. They are reliable and sociable so I really like them.
I’m a student of a university in Kyoto and my major is
English. That’s why I came here to improve my English more. Now I’m a
third-year student in my university so after I go back to Japan, I will study
English and something more essential things another a year. I have been
thinking about my job in the future for a couple years and I think working in
hotel is the best job for me so far because that’s the best way to brush up
English even if I’m in Japan.
I belong to a club at my university which is called Habitat
for Humanity student branch. It’s a one of volunteer organization in the world
and its birth place is in Atlanta in USA. Their main work is to build a houses
for poor people. That comes from their belief which is “A world where everyone
has a decent place to live.” So as a member of this organization, I went to the
Philippines last summer for eleven days. There were 13 members including me,
and we helped build a big community house. In the Philippines, there is still a
big gap between the rich and the poor. I saw it directly with my eyes so it was
a terrible shock to me. This experience has got me inspired me to study more.
If you want to know more details about Habitat for Humanity, just let me know.
I’m happy to share my experiences.
Nice story!! Especially, when you were in Philipines, it's very interesting experience. 😁😁
