Cycling Trip in Summer

I belong to volunteer group "Uegahara Habitat". In this summer, we carried out two project. One was "Rin" that helps Philippine children, and the other was "Charipure" that I took part in. The project's purpose was to inform children about volunteer works and world's poverty problems. "Chari" means cycle, and "pure"means presentation. I traveled from Nagoya to KGU by bycicle, and visited three high school to show a presentation. Before start, I worried about many things. First, there was no girl who is 1st grade ecept me. Two, I have never show a presentation ecept English class. Three, cycling for 10days sounded very tough.  However when the project started, there were no problems that I worried about. All of member were very friendly and kind, so I had never felt lonly or uncomfortable. I practiced presentation many times, so the presentation was scusessful, and I enjoy talking with high school student. Actually cycling was tough work, but I used to be runnning or other sports, so there was no ploblem to cycle in all day. The most interesting thing was cycling in early morning. One day, we had to wake up in 4:00 AM to visit a high school. There were little time, so only 7 members that 6 men and me rode on bicycle and cycled like motor bikes. The sunshine was very beautiful, and we didn't have to stop because there were no cars.There is one more impressive thing. When we were rising funds to Higasinihon Daishinsai at Nara, a stranger came to us. Then, he said "Dont, do such activity!It's like a thief!Stupid!" It was terrible shock. Through this project, I sonsidered about many things about volunteer.I want to keep considering about volunteer works and world's ploblem.
