2HJ Speaks at Junten Middle School and High School!

On April 9, 2012, 2HJ PR Officer Rumi Ide spoke to 400 students consisting of 9th and 10th graders of Junten Middle School and High School in Kita-ward, Tokyo, about 2HJ’s food banking and disaster relief in Northern Japan.

There was another nonprofit giving a speech at the school on the same day.

The school have a walkathon, Sponsored Walk, on April 28, in which the students will walk long miles. When a student finishes, a sponsor donates money to a charity. Their sponsors will donate money to the charity the students chose. 2HJ is in the competition with the other nonprofit for this waklathon event.

The school is famous for its international-spirited education and welfare education. The school offers various volunteer programs from local community activities to international NGO aids. They also held food drives in which the students were encouraged to bring food from home to the school to donate to 2HJ.

As we expected from their reputation, the students were very serious when listening to our speech. We sincerely thank the students at Junten School for the opportunity.
