This is a specialized project developed by NICE
1) Organizing family workcamps 3-4 times a year
This 2 day camp aims to be a part of the prevention for the parents who are tired and are facing challenges raising their children where:
+ Parents can refresh, reflect and share their problems and know-how with other parents.
+ Children have a chance to experience nature, voluntary service and learn from cultural exchange.
+ Parents and their children can strengten and rebuild their relationship through this event.
2) Awareness campaign for the public
Four times a year (near the stations in Shinjuku and Atsugi). We distribute informative pamphlets and to over 400 people we asked questions about awareness and appropriate action to prevent and deal with this problem.
3) Activities with the orphanage
We organize a weekend workcamp in Kamakura Children's Home in Kanagawa almost every month.
Some examples: organizing a summer camp for those who have no place to go back home to during the holidays, helping with their events of making rice cake, Chirstmas party, bon-dancing, etc.
4) Activities with a group of foster families
We organize weekend workcamps with "Ken-o-Satooya-kai" (a group of foster parents in the central part of Kanagawa prefecture) to care for the foster children while the parents have seminars and we run summer camps.
5) Continuing study and research
We have a monthly meeting to further study the situation of child abuse including reports by members who have spoken with specialists. Plan for future projects and actions of the team.
6) Support to the other specialized NGOs
We have helped with fundrasing concerts of CMPN (a specialied NGO in Kanagawa against child abuse).
