Charity event "Everest of Apples Drinking Conversation: Valentine's Day!" On February 13th at the pub "Robbin's Nest" (Omachi, Hirosaki, TEL090-6450-1730) near JR Hirosaki Station. Will be held.

The event is held to give you a chance to enjoy English easily. Sponsored by the Everest of Apples (EoA) charitable organization, which is composed of members led by foreign assistants (ALTs) who teach language at public schools in Aomori Prefecture.

"EoA has opened to help children in developing countries access their education," said deputy leader Ellen Fraser. The name of the organization implies that it wants to be a bridge between Aomori Prefecture, the apple producing region that boasts the highest production in Japan, and Nepal, which has the Everest Mountains.

The relationship with Nepal begins with the correspondence of children from Gonohe Elementary School in Aomori Prefecture and the nonprofit private elementary school "Prajual School" in Nepal. The organization, which was established in 2002 to support the school, provides financial support such as donations and membership fees for events, repairs and scholarships to the practical school building, and training fees for teachers. Since more than half of the students have learned that they cannot attend school without a bus, they have been raising funds for purchasing school buses since 2011. Currently, it has achieved 79%.

There will be a two-part system on the day, and the first half will be an English conversation only and the second half will be a Japanese conversation only. Ellen is planning a game. "It's not an event that only people who can speak English can participate. We hope that it will be a chance to enjoy English, so feel free to come and visit us."

Holding time is from 19:00 to 22:00. The membership fee is 1,000 yen (with one drink).
