About this episode

Kiho Hirabayashi discusses her initiative Eizy English and a book drive to foster global connections through education.

Kiho Hirabayashi is a Grade 11 student at LCC and the founder of Eizy English — a free online English tutoring program for students across Japan. Eizy English welcomes learners of all ages, from elementary students to seniors, and aims to make English education accessible to everyone, especially in rural areas where native English speakers are less common.  Recently, Kiho organized a book drive in collaboration with the Imabari Board of Education in Japan. This initiative will send books — along with handwritten messages from LCC students and teachers — to 15 to 20 elementary and middle schools in Imabari, Japan. While collecting the messages, Kiho also shared stories about the warm community of Imabari. She hopes this project will grow into something that builds lasting connections between students from different parts of the world and fosters a spirit of learning, kindness, and global friendship.
