Currently, fourteen DGA students have participated in a 10-week challenge to reach a collective reading goal of 10,000,000 words under the KUFS original reading project called Readers4Readers.

Readers4Readers is a 10-week sponsored reading project starting October 1st, 2016 and running through mid-December. It’s ultimate goal is to raise funds to build libraries and educational facilities in rural Cambodia.

Funds are raised by the SWAP Network from both individual and organizational donors. Students from Kyoto University of Foreign Studies volunteer to support the project as readers. They set a collective reading goal for the 10-week period that exceeds what they would normally read for their classes. Once the collective goal is reached, then funds raised by SWAP will be released to the recipient. The recipient for this event is RSVP Cambodia, an organization dedicated to building schools and helping children in rural Cambodia meet their needs.

By reading extensively, students at KUFS can more quickly reach their own language learning goals. Simultaneously, they can learn more about the world through their reading, as well as become more aware of situations in less privileged parts of the world they share. And when donors offer their support, they also become more aware while doing something to help out. Everyone wins, and the world becomes one step closer to peace.
