ABC Japan is a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) created in 2000 with the main goal of supporting Brazilian residents in Tsurumi, Yokohama (Kanagawa Prefecture).
Our entity was founded to assist foreigners with issues related to work as well as supporting their personal and daily lives, while creating a friendly environment to connect Japanese and foreigners.
We enjoy bringing people together, regardless of their nationality and generation, to face our problems together!

What does ABC Japan mean to me?
I was born in Japan and studied until Middle School in the Philippines. I wanted to do my High School in Japan, so I came back and studied for the admission exams at ABC Japan. I passed in the school I wanted to study and I voluntarily started to participate in the Organization. It's been two years, but whenever I'm struggling with important decisions in my life, such as how to perform well in High School, how to prepare for the next admission exams and start College, or finding a job, I realize that not only my family and teachers have been here, but ABC Japan was always present to support me.
I joined ABC Japan to study the Japanese language. I was oriented by many professors in small groups, so I could progress at my own pace. Because of that, I was able to pass the admission exams at a public High School. Now I'm involved as a volunteer in other activities at ABC Japan. As a senior student, I want to keep supporting the other students too.
There are many things that only ABC Japan has to offer: full support, awesome professors, a fun learning environment and friends to study with. Besides studying, there were other activities through which we could understand and interact with different cultures. Without this opportunity, it would have been really hard for me to pass admission exams for High School, since I knew nothing of the Japanese Language and I had no information about these exams. My gratitude is endless. Thank you so much!
I joined ABC Japan to prepare for High School admission exams. The students here at ABC Japan were all from different nationalities, which made me excited to attend classes because I had the opportunity to get in touch with other cultures. Besides studying, there were extra activities such as extracurricular classes, field trips and Christmas Parties, which was particularly special for me. In this party, every guest prepared a dish, so I could taste dishes from different countries and it was a great experience.
I had a lot of fun at ABC Japan. I got along well with my friends and my professors, and studying was very enjoyable. The professors were concerned about everyone's educational planning and gave us a lot of advice. I really like how these professors were so kind and dedicated to every student. Aside from mock exams and interviews, we had a graduation trip, Christmas Party and opportunities to meet students from other schools. I'm thankful for the support I got from ABC Japan.
Our lives are comfortable thanks to the workforce of countless foreigners in Japan. I had never paid much attention to their lives or how their children are growing and living in Japan, or how their educational opportunities are. Through ABC Japan's activities I learned about the existence of people that were invisible to me.
