This
is truly a unique opportunity for selected
applicants to study abroad inexpensively. Program
activities include practical instruction
and real-time experience in teaching
English, organizing cultural exchange
events and
relief activities, recruiting Japanese
participants for overseas volunteer activities,

for Sake Brewing. It served as a defense stronghold
for the Historic Kyoto, Capitol of Japan until
the Edo period, and is home to what is considered
the most beautiful castle ever built in Japan. |

Participants
will be gaining practical experience
teaching English, and assisting in
day to day operations of the center
and support activities for underprivileged.
Activities are wide ranging and everyday
is a challenge. Applicants will be
working and studying at the center
and at local schools and organizations
where they will have plenty of chances
to share their culture, and experience
the varied cultures of Japan. Kozmoz
International is active in different
areas in Japan working with the underprivileged.
In 2004 we started Second Harvest Kansai,
an Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto based foodbank
working to eliminate food waste and
support the less advantaged. Just like
in America we collect foods from various
manufactures and food drives and make
deliveries of foodstuffs and clothing
to crisis pregnancy centers, battered
women's shelters, and of course to
homeless outreaches. *Applicants must
be fluent in the English language
Applicants should be self starters who are not
afraid to try new things and able to take instruction.
Instruction will be given on teaching English
as a second language, working and living in a
foreign culture, and business management. Participants
will be living in a communal situation and need
to be able to be tolerant of other cultures and
be ready to help with the daily logistics of
the center. This is a tremendous opportunity
for students of the Japanese language or culture.

The
center has excellent access to both downtown
Kyoto and Osaka. It is both close to shopping
and located next to a greenbelt by the
historic Yodogawa river, a great place
to relax and get away from the hustle and
bustle of the most densely populated country
in the world. There are numerous cultural
activities in the Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe area
known as the Kansai district regardless
of the season. Kyoto is the cultural center
of Japan and is brimming with traditional
arts and crafts, traditional foods, museums,
and temples. Though Kyoto is famous for
its many beautiful and historic temples
and festivals, it is also the city with
the most colleges and universities per
capita in Japan, as such it is a hotbed
of research and development. This makes
Kyoto a dynamic city where the past and
the future meet head on. There is something
for everyone in Kyoto. Osaka is most notable
for its entertainment districts and commerce,
and its people are known for being warm
and humorous. Spending time in Kansai gives
you the opportunity to learn some Kansai
ben, the spicy dialect spoken here and
will give you an insight into Japan that
you just can't get anywhere else. Finally,
just an hour away is the modern bustling
port city of Kobe. After being devastated
by a massive earthquake just 8 years ago,
it has risen from the ashes like a Phoenix
and is the most international of Japans
major cities. |
