Foodbank（フードバンク）は、貧しい人々に食料を援助するチャリティー団体です。帝京大学ダラムキャンパスでは、毎年、職場体験としてフードバンクの活動に参加しています。今は毎週木曜日に、RyubiとHidenariが食料の仕分け作業を手伝っています。先週はフードバンクに関するゲストレクチャーの後、ほかの学生たちも食料を買い、実際に寄付を行いました。

Durham Foodbank is a local charity that works hard to ensure that no-one in County Durham goes hungry. It is a huge project (feeding over 16,000 people every year!) and for many years Teikyo University students have assisted the foodbank as volunteers, as part of our ongoing Work Experience programme.

Currently, our students Ryubi and Hidenari help at the Foodbank on Thursday mornings by arranging items by type and expiry date, so they can be easily packaged and given to those in need.

After a Guest Lecture at Teikyo University last week by Stuart Hudson (the Foodbank manager) explaining the importance of the Foodbank, Teikyo students have come together to collect much-needed food to donate to the Foodbank. Hidenari and Ryubi have said that the Foodbank is a very great thing, and that the food will be put to good use helping poor and homeless people.
