The Spirit of Nippon (Japan)
I did not find what I was looking for in Japan. Where I expected self-pity, sadness, and hopelessness, I found courage, gratitude, and love.

In addition to sending volunteers abroad, United Planet also sponsors ambassador clubs; clubs designed to spread tolerance and teach students about foreign cultures through cross-cultural activities. (activities focused on one or more different cultures) Naomi, a student at Shanghai International Studies University, founded an ambassador club last year after seeing United Planet’s name on an inspirational website.
United Planet is an international non-profit organization with a mission to create a global community, one relationship at a time. We connect people who want to make a difference in communities across the world through overseas volunteer travel programs, global virtual internships & volunteering, and project-based virtual exchange programs. With opportunities in more than 40 countries, you will learn, teach, work, engage and immerse yourself in a culture outside your comfort zone. For many, volunteering abroad is the most fulfilling experience of their lives!
