Sacred Hearts Academy
Yukino Yano

On Friday, April 21, I did my Service Learning at Sacred Hearts Academy. It is located in Palolo. The purpose of this SL at Sacred Hearts Academy is to help the students improve with their Japanese. We spoke casual Japanese and they can learn more how to use Japanese. Through this service, I met Hawaiian high school girls and we spend a very good time. I think it was very fun. During this service, I talked with them and I learned about their school. When we walked around the school, an unexpected incident happened. She has Japanese parents and speaks very good Japanese. I saw her work of art and we livened up. Everyone took a group photograph already when we go back to classroom. This is the picture and we were late for it. Anyway we had a good time even if I hardly spoke English during this service, but I learned how difficult and exciting to teach and talk with peoples of other language is. I will try my best to learn English more so that I can enjoy conversation in English more. This was very interesting for me.

Y. W. C. A
Nana Matsuoka

I went to Y. W. C. A for service learning. Three facilities are located in Hawaii, which support women`s health etc. I went to a facility in downtown of Honolulu. This Y. W. C. A is a large facility where 2300 members have registered. It was a facility with a gym that supports their health. I did a lot of tasks such as putting printed matters into envelopes, handling name cards and putting papers together as the assistance of clerical workers. I enjoyed it and the stuff were also very happy and enjoyed working together. I was worried at first because I thought I would make mistakes in putting the right matters in the right envelopes, but I was relieved that the staff told us gently and I could managed to do right. I was able to learn the responsibilities of work in this SL.
