Hello!
How are you? Here's a little more to add to the Leaving Home, Going Home collection - two great writings from the viewpoints of NGOs and workers about what refugees need when they arrive in Japan. Let's take a look at these! What do people in NGOs think and how two they feel about their efforts in relation to their communities?

I think that the answers of questions are
so many, so in this paper, I will list four factors which seem to be needed for
refugees. First of all, they would need the information to live in Japan. For
example, how to find the houses to live, buy foods, wash their clothes and
count the money in Japan. The second they would need is the companies to advise
each other. In the group, they can talk about any alert and learn how to live
comfortably, and be relaxed. The third one would be the language skill of
Japanese. It let them live in Japan without too much care that NGO cannot do
and make their lives easier. But I think teaching Japanese is out of work of
NGO because teaching acquires the high level of knowledge and skill of plane
expression. If I were the worker in the NGO office, I would look for the group
teaching Japanese voluntary. The fourth ones are important for refugees to
continue living in Japan. Those are supports to make them get jobs and let
their children go to school.
Now, I wrote about what refugees need for
their lives. But there is more important factor. It is for Japanese. Japanese
who live with them would need some help to have communication with refugees. So
it must be needed that spreading information about refugees to Japanese to get
rid of alert that Japanese has. Those Japanese must be afraid of new comers
from foreign countries.
At last, to do all these factors, NGO workers have to try and connect with other diverse communities in Japan like local-governmental bodies, schools, plants or offices, voluntary groups and so on. To support

That was fantastic! Now let's look at one more:
As a staff working with
refugees, I think helping refugees is not just a matter of just help them buy
an airline ticket. They need almost everything when they came to Japan. First,
they need a house to live. Our refugee agency is sending stoves, fuel, blankets
and warm clothing to them. We will help refugees pay rent and pre-fabricated
shelters are also being considered for all of them. But we just want to say it
has huge concerns for the estimated at least 1 million people displaced inside their
own country – many without food or shelter. Our aid agencies are managing to
try our best to help them. We expect that figure to double to 700,000 by the
end of this year. Most of those fleeing arrive with nothing more than their
clothes, many are young children, and now winter is coming. Winter is the
hardest season for refugees.
It is awful to be a refugee,
it's awful to live in a tent, imagine if you have to live in a tent when it's
freezing and windy and cold and wet outside, so we want to make sure that at
least the situation is liveable for people who have no other choice. Survival
is their only option. Our agency are also
sending medical supplies, equipment and basic
emergency supplies, water, sanitation, and education for refugees to help them live better in Japan. We have also fed more refugees
in Japan. Their hope is to provide food
assistance to 6 and a half million by the end of the year. You can help us achieve this goal with an online
donation
and thank you for supporting our work, by calling the number on our website. It’s our moral duty to help them to
start a new life in Japan. They are homeless and often with just the clothes on
their backs. Giving a helping hand to people in need is encouraged
and welcomed in our society all the time.
How true!
So once again - thank you for being my students and I hope we can learn together again in the future. I have learned much more from all of you than what I have hoped to teach you.
So see you around from April! Take care!
