Volunteers in Osaka's Minami district are holding evening classes every Tuesday for the children of migrant workers from such countries as the Philippines and Thailand.
The Minami Children's Classroom has 26 registered students who are tutored for free in Japanese and get help completing their homework on a one-to-one basis.
The classes were established in September 2013 by a group of people supporting foreign workers and Osaka Municipal Minami Elementary School, which most of the children attend.
