SWTJ will participate for the second time in the
category of Disaster Victim Support. We can be found in the Kids’ Space on the
third floor in rooms 3 and 4. Now that people are starting to forget about
Tohoku, support is needed more than ever! There will be photos of our
continuing support activities in the Tohoku disaster areas, including those of
the SWTJ Kids’ Summer Camp in Kesennuma! Come by for a chat, we’ll be very
happy to see you! SWTJ goods will be on sale, and our very popular cotton candy (watagashi) machine (used by hundreds of Tohoku kids who have enjoyed making cotton candy during our activities) will accompany us to the site! Try your own!
At the festival, don’t miss the wonderful World Music, a live and talk show by an Okinawan musician, The World Culture Workshop, the Flea Market- and most of all the yummy food at the international food stalls! People line up way before noon, so coming early is recommended!
Below some pictures of the SWTJ 2012 SUMMER SCHOOL for Tohoku kids in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture- come and see more pictures in our display on November 3!
'We won't forget!'
SWTJ remains committed to long-term support of victims of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan.
