My main tasks include assisting with meal preparation and cleanup and interacting with children to build connections and learn more about Japanese culture. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This experience has taught me the importance of communication and adaptability in cross-cultural settings. Engaging with the children has been a highlight, helping me understand Japanese values like politeness and community through their actions. Plus, the food is really good &#8211; it\u2019s always a treat to enjoy the delicious and balanced meals prepared here. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Don\u2019t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and engage with others, even if your Japanese isn\u2019t perfect. Small efforts, like asking questions or sharing activities, go a long way in building meaningful connections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Kodomo Shokud\u014d, I volunteer to help create a welcoming space where children and families can enjoy meals to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/2024\/12\/01\/anna-yan-volunteering-at-%e8%81%96%e3%83%9e%e3%83%aa%e3%83%a4%e5%b9%bc%e7%a8%9a%e5%9c%92%e3%80%80-%e5%ad%90%e3%81%a9%e3%82%82%e9%a3%9f%e5%a0%82-kodomo-shokudo\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080 <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":716,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_locale":"ja","_original_post":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/?p=14107"},"categories":[183,40,6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14107"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/716"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14107"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14157,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14107\/revisions\/14157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
