📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This work camp is organized together with some local Kids center since 2012. A giant earthquake occurred in Tohoku in 2011 Mar. That caused unprecedented damage. NICE has been organizing the special workcamps there, especially in Iwate and Miyagi. We have provided the international game for Kids center affected by the disaster to expand the international understanding for Kids. We were able to provide a highly effective program at more than 10 Kids centers.

💼 What the programme involves

The first half, Volunteers will work at rose garden which is community space for locals in disaster area. For example, cutting grass, cleaning the garden, planting flowers, and so on. And the latter half, Volunteers will visit Kids center to provide the international game for 6-12 years Kids. You have chance to show your culture, music, dances and games for Kids. Please bring a lot of ideas about songs, games and dance like you can play with the children.
