Fukushima Kids Hawaii Winter Program is 2 weeks program for 10 children from Fukushima with 2 chaperons likewise.
These program costs $3000~4000 per child and we need to raise fund by the end of July for Summer, and by the end of December for Winter.

Fukushima Kids Hawaii House
Located in a quiet residencial area of Kailua Kona, the house can host up to 3 families at a time for 1 to 3 months for free. The house is run by donations only. Babies are more susceptible to radiatoin and a respite from radiation exposure is effective from the experiences of Chernobyl. Keeping the house cost $2000 a month and airfare support is $1000 per child. We are looking for a child sponsor who will support the airfare.
