Foreign teachers engage in volunteer work at shelter

TANOHATA, Japan - Two Americans and a Briton -- Victor Kochaphum (L), Kevin Blake (2nd from R) and Paul Dixon (R) -- clean up the kitchen at an evacuation center in the quake-hit village of Tanohata in Iwate Prefecture, northeastern Japan, on March 19, 2011. The three assistant English teachers have been helping out at the evacuation center, where some of their students are staying, despite their families' request to return to their home countries in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that struck the region March 11.
