World Unite Japan is an amazing organization! I had a truly wonderful, enriching, and meaningful experience. Our leaders, Summer and Hitoki, were outstanding. They created an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere and arranged volunteer projects that immersed us in the culture and ecosystems of Sado Island. I will always remember the friendships I made with our leaders and other volunteers. This was an life-changing experience. I highly recommend it! Lesa
