I have found the overall experience to be generally
hospitable. The house family was respectful enough, giving me my own room and calling
me in when food was prepared. During my stay I helped in masonry work but was
mostly teaching in the class room to 15 children age 2-10. The teacher who
helped me was kind to me but occasionally used a more physical means of
motivation towards the children that was, to my taste, indifferent, however
most of the children were very respectful and polite. The nature in Kanda is
beautiful and while I found the expense to be high, (keep in mind half of the
expense goes to helping the school and construction) the 11 days I spent in
Kanda were peaceful and a good escape from the rest of the world. I recommend
the opportunity.
