Young Americans who will teach English at schools here on an international exchange and teaching program said Tuesday they want to help Japan recover from the March catastrophe.

According to the U.S. Embassy and an organizer of the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program, around 700 are coming from the U.S. this summer. About 400 of them arrived Sunday.

In total, some 1,600 JETs from 27 nations will come to Japan this summer.

Many of the young Americans attended an orientation session held by the U.S. Embassy at a Tokyo hotel Tuesday evening.
