Teaching English at JVDCB
Do you speak English? Then you can teach English! That is, you can help visually-impaired adults build up their English skills as they retrain for jobs at the Japan Vocational Development Center for the Blind and Low-Vision (JVDCB) in Yotsuya. Classes are taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 13:00 to 14:30. Please consider joining our group. For information, contact Vicky Muehleisen at vicky@waseda.jp or Kozue Handa at khanda@nifty.com
Save the Date for our next General Meeting.
VVI’s next General Meeting will be held on-line on Saturday April 12 at 10:00. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us.
VVI’s 50th Anniversary in 2025
In 2025, CWAJ celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Volunteers for Visually Impaired (VVI) Committee providing unique and meaningful programs in English for Japanese with a visual impairment. Please check out our beautiful slider, on the top of the CWAJ website. The photo was taken at our English Conversation Gathering, Experience Swedish Culture in English, which was held last year in May. Also our landing page has also been updated and given a professional look, thanks to the webmasters.
Two special events are being held to celebrate five decades of VVI programs, plus a 50th Anniversary Booklet, which will be published in October.
Joanna Chinen is coordinating the VVI 50th Anniversary Special Events. If you would like to volunteer to help, please contact Joanna at joannacookchinen@gmail.com
We really need everyone’s support to make 2025 a memorable year. Please consider supporting VVI this year!
