KIWL is seeking a volunteer support car driver for its 4-day charity cycling tour, Thursday May 30th to Sunday June 2nd. With a car provided, you will enjoy all the beauty of the countryside and the camaraderie of the 50 riders and other support drivers. You just need to ferry the riders bags and be on hand here and there to hand out refreshments or help riders in distress. As it’s a charity event, we cannot cover hotels (approx Y40,000) but all tolls and gas expenses are refunded. We gather in Shizuoka city in the evening of May 29th and end the ride in Takasaki city on June 2nd. Driver must have a valid Japanese or international driving license. Mechanical or first aid ability would be a massive bonus! Japanese language ability not essential. Come and join us and be a vital cog in raising funds for kids in care! Thank you!
