Minna no Lemonade no Kai

As winter settled in and city lights sparkled with seasonal illuminations, December became a time of warmth and connection for Minna no Lemonade. Throughout the month, we continued our activities with the aim of delivering kindness and comfort to children undergoing medical treatment and their families.

December Activities: Gift Deliveries and Connection Programs

In December, our Minlemo Santa initiative moved into full swing, allowing us to reach children and families across Japan during the winter holiday season.

Minlemo Santa is our seasonal outreach program in which volunteers deliver gifts and messages of encouragement to children undergoing medical treatment and their families. The program is designed to bring moments of joy, connection, and emotional support, while carefully respecting each child’s circumstances and privacy.

Through this initiative and our ongoing connection programs, smiles and moments of warmth were shared nationwide.
