留学生交流ボランティアグループ・KINDは、東京都目黒区駒場にある駒場国際交流会館に来られた世界各国の留学生のみなさんに一日も早く日本の生活に慣れてもらえるようにと、１９８５年、駒場周辺に住む人たちで活動を始めたボランティア団体です。

　

   ２０１２年、会館が東京大学インターナショナル駒場ロッジと東京工業大学駒場留学生会館になったあとも、その精神は変わることなく受け継がれ、２０２４年、４０周年を迎えました。

​

　KIND会員の家族とのホームビジットやさまざまな行事を通じての交流が心の支えになって、日本を第二の故郷と思ってくれている留学経験者が世界中にいます。そしてこうした活動が認められ、国や地域、団体からさまざまな賞をいただきました。

​

　さらに多くの方々に私たちの活動を知ってもらい、仲間に加わっていただければと願っています。

   KIND is a volunteer group established in 1985 by families living in and around Komaba, Meguro Ward of Tokyo. Through active interactions with international students from all over the world, who have gathered at Komaba International House (International Students Dormitory), KIND aims to support these students get used to the life in Japan.

​

   We have continued our activities even after the dormitory has changed to the University of Tokyo International Komaba Lodge and the international student’s dormitory of the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2014. Our spirit has been passed down since KIND started off as a small gathering between few families. In 2014, we have celebrated the ４0th anniversary of the establishment of KIND,

​

   As a result of building strong bonds between inter-national students through activities such as home visits, as well as various events, there are thousands of international students who refer to Japan as their second home. We are proud that KIND has been awarded by the nation, municipals and various institutions for the services it renders to the inter-national student community in Japan. ​

​

   We wish that more people will recognize our activities, and be willing

to join us.
