Activities since March 11th
After the Great East Japan Earthquake took place on March 11th, Sola has constantly sent out volunteer teams to the Tohoku region (mainly in the stricken areas at Higashimatsushima, Ishinomaki, and Minamisanriku) and have worked together with NGOs including Japanese International Food for Hungry (JIFH), World Vision Japan, Oasis, and other local groups and churches to distribute supplies and food to the people there. Our volunteer teams have also visited evacuation centers such as Hotel Kanyo, Shizugawa High School, and Tokura Elementary School to provide opportunities for the children of playing sports and games to release their stress from the aftermath of the tsunami.
Past activities are summarized in the table below.
