Support Activities After the Great East Japan Earthquake
Ever since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, Foundation for Global Children has been sending daily necessities to the areas affected by the earthquake. Even now, we are continuing our support activities at the local communities. Currently, we are providing mental and emotional care for the students in the elementary and junior high schools in Minami Soma City.
