Another thing we run into is that many Japanese people don’t use Facebook. So if there is anyone with a Japanese background, someone who is familiar with social networks in Japan and/or someone who speaks Japanese, we could really use your help!
Of course everyone can help by becoming a fan of the Facebook group HostaJapanese . Share it with all your friends, family via social media and take a Japanese person into your home!
