Description: Organized together with Local group since 2012, a giant earthquake occurred in the eastern part of Japan on March 11th, causing unprecedented damage. 80% of the houses have gotten damaged by the earthquake in Rikuzentakata, and so many people still have to live in the temporary house. Kids could not enjoy the school playground because there are so many temporary houses. So we would like to give the chance for Kids to enjoy the outdoor activates in their vacation.
Type of Work: We will help out and live together with kids in the Ski/Snowboard Kids camp supporting ski/snowboard activities and sharing your culture. We will encourage the kid’s independence and creativity by letting them plan the schedule, so you will need to respect their ideas!
Study Theme: How to support for children in the disaster area. We also would like to share the best practice to revive disaster areas in each country.
Accommodation: Youth center. Sleeping Bag is NOT necessary. Cooked by Volunteers.
Requirements: Ski or Snowboard Intermediate or more!! High motivation to work for disaster area and respect to the local culture and way of the local organization! Motivation letter is required.
Approximate Location: South east edge of Iwate prefecture (very near from Miyagi). Forestry, agriculture and fishing are used to be the main industry though they were severely damaged and may take several years to be rehabilitated.
Notes: If you would like to rent ski/snowboad, boots, and ski suit, 10.000yen is needed to pay.
