Nago – Hawaii-native Sarah Kobayashi has been teaching English to people in Nago, Okinawa for close to five years as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) and an instructor of English conversation classes. Now, students (represented by Yumiko Baba) in her English conversation classes, Aloha English Club in Nago, are asking for donations through an American crowdfunding site to support Sarah’s cancer treatment.

After working as a teacher at the Christian school in Yomitan, Sarah moved to Nago and taught English conversation. She was diagnosed with uterine cancer in January of this year. She returned to Hawaii to recuperate in November after her condition worsened.

 

Baba says, “Sarah Sensei has contributed so much to English education in Nago. I hope that the people of Nago can support her now.” The fundraising target is 5 million yen. The crowdfunding site “Faith for Sarah” can be accessed at the URL https://www.gofundme.com/f/faithforsarah/share. The site was created in the United States and is entirely in English. Donations are also being accepted via bank transfer. Transfers can be made through the Japan Post Bank using code 10150 and number 19013501. If depositing money by branch name, use the branch name 〇一八 (zero-ichi-hachi), to make an ordinary deposit to account number 1901350.
