Fukushima Children Recuperating at Center in Okinawa



A press conference was held in March 2012 to announce the foundation of a recuperation project for Fukushima children that was attended by the mayor of Kume Island and artist/musician ISHII Tatsuya. Work began immediately to refurbish the buildings and on July 5th when the center opened, receiving the first group of fifty-one, consisting of Fukushima children and their guardians.
It is completely free for the children and after the second group guardians only have to pay for their own airfare.
This recuperation project will continue into the New Year with the 8th group (Jan. 23-Feb. 7, 2013), the 9th (Feb. 21-Mar. 8), the 10th (Mar. 23-Apr. 5) and so on.
Furthermore, we plan to hold a type of ‘study camp’ for Fukushima schoolchildren from April 2013. This ‘study camp’ will adopt the pattern developed by the ‘Hope 21’ recuperation center that was established in Belarus for children afflicted by the Chernobyl Disaster, and which we have supported for more than twenty years. Classes from schools in the radiation-contaminated areas will spend three weeks at this camp together with their teachers……
Dear supporters http://kuminosato.net/english-2/dear-supporters/
This facility is supported and maintained by people with a humanitarian conscience for protecting children that surely no one can oppose. The building renovation costs, the facility operating costs, the travel expenses, and the accommodation expenses for children are all covered by donations from people who sympathize with this project……..
