Helping Hands

We are very grateful for the help of others.  If you would like to assist or participate in the Big Bear Club please email us with your name and number.

Many volunteers over the years have helped in various ways.  Help is welcome in teaching English and participation in our monthly events. No experience is required, just a willingness to help build the self-esteem and English skills of American heritage children in Okinawa.  We always welcome casual volunteers or those who would just like to attend.

私達は他の助けのために非常に感謝している。ビッグ・ベアクラブに助けるか、または加わることを望んだらあなたの名前および数との私達に電子メールを送りなさい。

多くのボランティアはさまざまな方法で長年かけて助けてしまった。 助けは私達の月例でき事の教授の英語そして参加で歓迎されている。経験は、沖縄でアメリカの相続財産の子供の自尊心そして英国の技術を造るのを助けるちょうど自発性要求されない。私達は偶然のボランティアを常に歓迎するか、またはちょうど好む人は出席する。
