Schools
http://www.yica.co.jp
Yokohama International Christian Academy is an excellent international
school in the heart of Yokohama. Ruth's kids go here and they come
home every day happy and challenged. Many Japanese children go to
this school too. If you are looking for an alternative to the larger
(pretty pricey) schools in Tokyo, check this one out.
http://www.commongrace.org/cg/page.aspx
This is an organization Ruth's father started called Common Grace.
It aims to bring public school children together with mentors from
community churches. Jay Jarman found there were churches in Hawaii
with public schools right nearby full of children that need some
extra love, encouragement and help with studies. While maintaining
a careful line between church and state, Common Grace brings generous
and helpful adults into the lives of neighborhood children.
