Thank you for your long-term support for the people of Tohoku!
This is a brief report about the Healing Japan (HJ) activities in the past three months.
During this reporting period, the HJ program reached to mothers, children and NPO staff in Ishinomaki, Tohoku.
Mr. Tomoaki Kobayashi conducted three art-therpautic workshops in December, January, and February.The workshops were conducted in cooperation with a local NPO "Arrietty Kai", which provides safe space for kids and parents.
Please take a look on the photos!
In addition to the on-going activities of the Healing Japan program, JISP began consultation with one of our long-term partners in Tohoku - "Sunpucho" - about providing art-theraputic activities for elementary kids in Kumamoto, South of Japan (which was heavily affected by two earthquakes last year).
To recall, Sunpucho is an NPO which conducts art activities across the Tohoku region, and which its members have undergone long periods of training with JISP (for more details please see earlier reports.
This would be the first time that one beneficiery organization of the Healing Japan program conducts psycho-social activities outside of Tohoku, thus implementing tools and knowledge acquired during the HJ trainings.
We will keep you updated.
Thank you for your kind support!
