Students volunteer

From May 6th to 8th, I participated in the student volunteer at the university. There were still several victims there. I didn't know what to do first, so I asked some teachers and students. I cleaned the plural classrooms and library and went to throw away garbage all day. It was a little hot and humid. One day, Chikushi Jogakuen University's student came to be responsible for our university. We ate lunch that they cooked together. We talked about each other's universities and damage situation a lot. I got very tired but I made new friends. I had a very good time.
