Two years have passed since the earthquake and tsunami devastated that the north eastern coast of Japan. Since then, we have followed our five year plan, with the intention of supporting children and their families in the Tohoku region for at least five years,and are working to support rebuilding, based on children's rights. Thank you very much for all of your support and cooperation.
In the future, we will continue support the mental and societal recovery of the children of Tohoku and their caregivers, and we are integrating the opinions of children into our rebuilding efforts, with the goal of creating a society together in which they can participate. We humbly ask for your continued support and cooperation.
