while building up friendships and trust with the animals. Animals provide unconditional love to humans
after they have gained their trust, as such we hope that they will help make the children feel secure and
loved. This school is hoped to help abused children move towards a brighter future.

situation of animal abuse and killing, and you will become more responsible for the lives of the animals. In
addition, by helping and supporting children who have grown up in complicated family environments, we
can increase our own responsibility to society. The second is a sense of gratitude. We take our daily lives
for granted. However, by working with children who do not take our daily lives for granted, we can
reconfirm how blessed we are, and our sense of gratitude will be heightened. Through this activity, we
also improve our leadership and cooperation skills. By contributing to the care of the animals and the
operation of the facility, we can realize the importance of effective communication and cooperation.

The program takes students on a cultural enrichment journey and provides them with a multifaceted
experience that goes beyond traditional learning. Indulging in the rich customs that characterize various
societies, participants weave themselves into the colorful tapestry of international festivals. With the help
of interactive activities and games centered around language, students can go beyond textbooks and
embrace the natural excitement of learning a new language. When one steps into the creative realm, life
lessons become concrete expressions, like writing a tuneful melody. Our summer crew collaborates with
English international students to take on the challenging task of writing a song that combines cultural melodies and
③ rhythms from multiple languages and countries. This initiative not only deepens linguistic understanding
but also sparks creativity, fostering a profound appreciation for the intricate connections between language
and culture. As the lyrics and rhythms harmonize, a symphony of cultural exchange unfolds, leaving
participants with an enduring and transformative educational experience.

First of all, the activities are different from other educational activities in that children, service/rescue
animals, and university students work together. Through art and craftsmanship, the children are able to
explore the creativity of traditional foreign cultures, learn languages through games and activities, and
learn about life in other countries through songwriting, clothing, arts and crafts activities. We believe that
doing this while being taught by international students (along with local people) and thinking together is
different from the usual educational environment. The strength of this summer school is that it mainly
aims to help children who are in unfortunate conditions. Whether it be victims of domestic conflicts in
English their home environment and orphans, through the help of rescue animals/service animals along with the
moderation of animal welfare organizations, this camp will be able to provide children with a place of
comfort, healing, and fun, as well as an opportunity to learn about foreign cultures. The university students
can also learn a lot from the program, such as how to talk to, teach, and take care of young children and
learn about their own country.
