Highlights

United Planet's Quests offers volunteers a unique blend of work, cultural immersion, and fun. All ages and skill levels are invited to apply. Everyone has something to offer!
Based on the Children's Welfare law in Japan, our partner organization, a Child Welfare and Nursing Institution, was established in August 2004. The purpose of the institution is to support children who do not have parents or who were abused or neglected by their parents. The orphanage is located in the Saitama prefecture. The facility is new and clean. There are children ranging from infants to teenagers at the institution. Many of the students study in local elementary and high schools. Volunteers usually teach English to the children as well as organize play groups with them.
