The meeting of Travelers with a Purpose in July (July 7th)

What's TWP?
Habitat for Humanity Japan (HFHJ)'s Travelers with a Purpose (TWP) is a forum for people interested in travel and making a difference in the world to meet, socialize, and learn from each other. Each meeting focuses on a different theme related to travel, housing, and volunteerism. Meetings also provide opportunities for attendees to learn about upcoming HFHJ global house-building trips. The group meets the first Tuesday of every month and is open to everyone. Entrance is free. We look forward to seeing you there!

Regardless of after or before GV, they had presentations for the other students.

They had leaflet/poster they made installed in their local youth center.

Before GV, they released their GV information to the leading media of japan.
After GV, some reporters asked for an interview with them.

Finally, he closed his presentation by his encouraging remark; "The more brothers are there, the more meaningful volunteer activities become. This is the GLOBAL VILLAGE !!!"
