My CIP was volunteering at the Kyoto Food Bank, sorting donated food into categories by type and expiration date to get the food ready to donate. There were also events that the food bank would participate in, like having a b<\/span>ooth at a festival, taking and giving donations, and recruiting new volunteers. I was able to get to know people from many different backgrounds, as volunteering at the food bank is a great way to connect with the local community and feel like you\u2019re making a difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n My advice to incoming students who want to do volunteer work or work with the Kyoto Food Bank would be to learn vocabulary that you think you might use while you\u2019re working. For example, at the food bank, it\u2019s important to know words like \u201cexpiration date\u201d and the words for various foods that would be relevant and important for communicating with the other volunteers. Speaking of, it\u2019s also important to take every opportunity you can to get to know the other volunteers and attend any special events that your volunteer work may offer! These events help give you a chance to get to know people more deeply and really engage with the community.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My CIP was volunteering at the Kyoto Food Bank, sorting donated food into categories by type and expiration da … \u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080
