Our Work
Morey recently stopped teaching the stewardess classes in Fukuoka.  (Are you nuts!)  In September 2003, he began teaching at the four elementary schools in Ogi Town.  He initiated an exchange program with an American elementary school in Texas.  As a result, students from Texas will visit Ogi Town in June 2004.  Read more about it under Exchange Program.
Yukiko continues to work part-time for an accounting firm in Saga City.
Together, we teach English classes at home Tuesday through Friday evenings and Saturday morning and afternoon.  About 50 students have passed through our doors since we began in July 2000.

English Conversations
We used to teach a class for Ogi Town residents on a volunteer basis, but discontinued at the end of 2002 so we could add more home students.  Click on the heading if you would like to see some of the conversations that we have created for our classes.  The premise is a trip to New York.  The intent is to introduce the classes to words and phrases that are common in conversational English, and to give them some exposure to American culture.
