Blog Assignment #16 by Kanae

We visited the organization “Girls Inc.” yesterday. We taught the girls origami and Japanese calligraphy there. There were many children in the organization “Girls Inc.” The girls were very very very pretty! I thought that I was good to come here!
I taught the girls Japanese calligraphy. I didn't know how I should teach them first. So we prepared for some simple kanjis. For example, friend, heart, flower and love. Among of all those kanjis, love is difficult. However, many girls wrote “love”. Moreover, they wrote it very well!!
Then, they asked us, “How do you write our name in a kanji?” we tried a substitute character kanji. A substitute character kanji was more difficult than I had expected. We wrote our name in kanji, so they came to hear the meaning of the kanji! The girls has a strong desire to learn!! They were pleased when I taught the meaning of the kanji. That appearance was very cute. I became very happy, too!
I had a very fun time there! I'm looking forward to being able to go to “Girls Inc.” again!!
