About the project

Appi-kogen (Iwate)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Organized together with Local group since 2012, a giant earthquake occurred in the eastern part of Japan on March 11th, causing unprecedented damage. 80% of the houses have gotten damaged by the earthquake in Rikuzentakata, and so many people still have to live in the temporary house. Kids could not enjoy the school playground because there are so many temporary houses. So we would like to give the chance for Kids to enjoy the outdoor activates in their vacation.

💼 What the programme involves

We will help out and live together with kids in the Ski/Snowboard Kids camp supporting ski/snowboard activities and sharing your culture. We will encourage the kid’s independence and creativity by letting them plan the schedule, so you will need to respect their ideas!
