Seeking JET alums for Satogaeri Project
CLAIR has announced the Satogaeri (“Homecoming”) Project, an exciting new program which will send former JET Program participants back to the communities where they once lived and worked as JETs. As part of the project, the Japanese government will fund trips for JET alumni to return to their JET home towns to reconnect with the friends, colleagues, and students with whom they developed close relationships. A “mini-JETAA International” meeting in Tokyo will also be part of the program.
We would love to have a JET from the Toronto area participate in this fantastic project. In case you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact info@jetaatoronto.ca.

It may seem strange to return to the land of oversized Wal-Mart’s, 24 hour bank access, convenient stores that are inconveniently located, people being loud and talking on public transit, as well as French-English labels on everything. But don’t worry, you’ll eventually re-assimilate and not feel so out of place. (more…)
