My daughter joined from Japan. She is 17 years old, and has her very own world, only few friends always, which had been making her very satisfied, but she asked me she wanted to join a volunteer group in overseas at the beginning of last autumn. As I don't have any friend who had sent their kids to overseas like this way, I found some volunteer group on internet, and tried to check detai. I needed time before I deicded "THIS!!!" because the most important thing to send my own child to overseas alone is "The group can ensure my girl's perfect safety in the country which has a bit of a reputation for being unsafe. So, I asked many questions to Japan branches of some organizations. Then , the stuff of Project Abroad branch answerd very detail even if I asked over and over again. The reason which made me to choose Project Abroad is because this organization is the one which Japdnese kids can use their rights of TOBITATE which is Japanese Government Scholarship, which means Japanese Government knows this organization is safe. And one more reason is high school volunteers' schedule in Cambodia. It was two weeks (Jan. 4th-17th) tour, so kids has one weekend. I worried how my daughter needed to spend 2 days without adults, but they had a weenend trip to Angkor Wat and around it. Kids could learn Cambodian history and enjoyed the tour with new friends from other countries. Some other reasons are following.My daughter told me that even when volunteer kids went to the convenienced store next to the hotel they stay, 3 adult escorts took students. Kids are always safe with escorts. Usually, roommate is from different country, but my girl's roommate wanted to stay with her friend from same high school of same country, then escorts allowed them to change roommates, and my girl shared the room with Japanes same age girl. First, I thought it's a pity because my girl lost the chance to speak English with her roommate, but my girl and her roommate can talk about entering to university next year, and could change many different kinds of informations they had. She said it was also good to share the room with the same nationalist because it makes their 2 weeks life in overseas easier as they has almost same way of thinking and habits as same nationalists. Cambodian people are vey faithful, but also have very flexible thinking, which helps kids mind very peaceful.Lastly, I'd like to shere my daughter's experience in her words with you. "It was a fantastic experience!!! Kids at elementary school were all so adorable, and I learnt Cambodian history and life very naturally. Project Abroad kept us so safe more than you thought, Mom!!! I noticed I needed to learn the country's history and culture before I visit them, so that I could communicate with people better, or explain surely about Japan or Japanese if they misunderstood us. Project Abroad gave me a great surprise!!!" I really appreciate you all, Project Abroad!!!
