●○●About our Organization●○●
Hello! Thank you for your interest in the International Cultural Exchange English Camp. We are the Miyagi Recovery Assistance Center
of Miyagi.
Our organization was founded four days after the March 11th, 2011 Earthquake that devastated the Tohoku Region and have organized efforts in the Miyagi Prefecture, the Fukushima Prefecture and the Iwate Prefecture to assist with recovery efforts and to provide emotional/psychological support to the children who have been affected by the disaster.
Many children were affected psychologically by the aftermath of the 2011 Disaster. As an attempt to re-instill hope and happiness in the lives of children in Japan, our organization began organizing this International Cultural Exchange English Camp from 2012, involving 100 elementary school children and 30 volunteers from across the world. Up until the year of 2016, we held camps in Miyagi, Tokyo, Saitama and Kanagawa. Thanks to the continued support we’ve gotten from across Japan, we now hold camps in Fukushima, Shizuoka, Aichi and Osaka as well. Hundreds of children participate in our camps every year, and a portion of the money raised annually is used to continue to host these camps. (We also invite 10 children from the regions affected by the disaster free of charge) We continue to host these events for many reasons:
1. To invite children who live in temporary housing or have been forced to relocate from their homes due to the natural disaster to our camps free of
charge.
2. To hold international exchange events in elementary schools
3. To remind the community of the reality concerning natural disasters in Japan
4. To encourage cultural exchange and internationalization
We hope to continue these camps in the future, with the support of volunteers like yourselves!
