About 10 years ago, global studies began with the fact that the then second-year high school student knew the activities of Mrs. Kazue Murakami, a NGO organization representative, in an English textbook and was impressed with its way of living. "Is not it after the study of English, is there anything we can do for them?" The students started a small volunteer work in the Mali Republic. After that, the scale of the volunteer expands, sends proceeds earned in the bazaar of the cultural festival every year, builds a literacy class in the field in 2006, and as a female leader from the field in 2016, the 130 th anniversary of foundation We came to invite Mrs. Awa Keita Kansaye to Miyagi Gakuin.
