🏢 About the local organisation
NICE - Never-ending International workCamps Exchange - is an NGO to organize workcamps and other voluntary service projects mainly in Japan. Project is organized together with Happy Kids Team (HKT) in NICE and Kamakura Children Home
(KCH) since 04. HKT was started in 2004 since Child abuse was getting more serious years
by years, so they organize weekend workcamps 1) every month in KCH, 2) 1-2 times a year
for families (to prevent further abuse) and 3) 3-4 times for the foster family association by
playing with their children while the parents are joining the seminars. KCH accommodates
60-80 children many of who were abused by the parents.
💼 What the programme involves
We will work in KCH mainly to prepare/ run/ clean up their bon dance festival on 29 Aug.
especially constructing the stage (where we will also show some performance together!).
We will also do some other things like playing with the children in the playground, a dinner
with a few elder children, etc. Child abuse situation and activities in each country and global cooperation. Bring some
