    A simple everyday wild life — volunteering to care for abandoned animals in Tokushima, Japan



    Q. Please tell us your satisfaction with the project. If you are satisfied, what did you like?


    A. 9 out of 10

    ''Taking a gap year'' itself is a time to get to know myself and time for myselfto find, and this program really gave me enough time to reflect on myself— I liked that. The gap year mission was a big helptoo!

     

     

    Q. Would you recommend this project?

     

    A.10points / 10 points

    that the time of a gap year is truly a necessary time for KoreansI always feel that way. I want people to fully spend time for themselves and have time to reflect on their hearts, so I definitely want to recommend it! Watching myself gradually communicate with the dogs and cats, it''s a program where you can truly feel a warmth in a corner of your heartso I recommend it!


     

    Q. If there were any changes in you because of this project, what are they?

    Thanks to the volunteer hours being shorter than I expected, I had a lot of time to myself.

    Even when I walked the dogs, there was no one to talk to, so I had a lot of time to talk with myself, so I think I could reflect and change..

     

     

    Q. Is there anything you''d like to say in closing?


    I definitely want to spend time with my gap year again! During the time I spent through the gap year, the value of my life increased, and at least for me,seeing myself becoming a better person was truly valuable and fulfilling— it made me realize that!Thank you

     

    I am very, very grateful to the director I met when I first went on the gap year, to Juhong teacher(?) who consulted during the Seoul gap year period, and to the mission staff! I wrote more stories in the letter, but I''ll express them again — expressing is something that only gets better the more you do it!

     

    Perhaps I thought it was the most difficult time, and meeting Korean Gap Year at that moment felt like such a stroke of luck. You helped me change and grow for the better..Rather than giving me fish, you taught me how to catch them; by helping me find direction for how to live going forward, I feel I was able to become much stronger!Thank you ♡
