JAPEC
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
A few years ago, I was fortunate to have been involved with a great group of people at an organization called JAPEC (Japan Association for the Promotion of English to Children), which organizes learning experiences for Japanese children that promote the practical use of English. It was an association that has resulted in some really exciting news for the PongoHogoHogo Challenge, with JAPEC offering their support in raising awareness of the challenge through their own events and through the 1000 schools that they are affiliated with! I hope the message rings out loudly and clearly - "Teachers and children of Japan - lets work together to save our mate Pongo and his/her jungle home!"
Thank you Mr. Ono for your interest and friendly enthusiasm and to Ms. Satomi Terai for coming to our school all those years ago and starting it all! You are brilliant. :-)
