Dear supporters,
Happy new year! We are very thankful for your support in 2015. Last year was a special year for us, opening MORIUMIUS in July and start receiving children locally as well as internationally. Finally, old and tired school has been renovated into a sustainable learning center to revitalize community. Many alumni are happy to see their school reborn.
Over five hundrend children gathered to MORIUMIUS. Once an abandoned scholl is now full of energy! There were many children from abroad as well. Children from US, France, and China gathered, enjoyed the natural surroundings and interacted with Japanese children as well as local community. Also, JET Programme staff added diversity to the program, providing muticultural experiences. We invite international guests to visit, to enrich the educational value!
Sustainable learning is here at MORIUMIUS! Taking lives from ocean and farm land, using wood for cooking and create tableware, and cook with the fresh ingredients are some of the activities MORIUMIUS provides. Composting, recycling waste water for agriculture, and raising pigs will allow children to understand that we can return energy back to nature for them to prosper.
We still need your donation in order to create MORIUMIUS sustainable as well as to add new element to the center. We are planning to renovate a house once used by principals into a community center and to create field athletic in the forest.
