We, the mothers of Japan and Hawaii launched Fukushima Kids Hawaii Project (FKHP) in a joint effort to bring children in Fukushima to Hawaii
during their school breaks (summer, winter and spring).
Since
March 11, 2011 earthquake and nuclear power plants accidents, 300,000 children
in Fukushima have been constantly exposed to high level radiation. In some areas of Fukushima, the
levels of radiation are higher than that of Chernobyl. Our priority as mothers is always safety and
health of children and we wished to do something, which resulted in the birth of this project.
The
children are going to spend one month (Group A including some handicapped children: July 19~Aug 20, Group B: July 24~Aug 20, 2013) here in Hawaii during
their summer holidays. It is our intention to continue this project until such effort
becomes unnecessary. Those children are invited to stay at Ginger Hill Farm of "Goddess" artist Mayumi Oda, Hue Hue Ranch, Puna Kamali'i Flowers and other individual homes in Kailua Kona and Hilo as well as Honolulu for extra few days. We want the children to enjoy eating fresh fruits and vegetables of Hawaii, playing freely outside with local kids, and swimming in the ocean of Hawaii without any concerns about radiation.
Imagine your child is not
allowed to play outside freely or refrain from swimming in the ocean.... That is
the situation which those children are in. Let's give them a break from radiation
exposure and let them have fun time in the nature of Big Island of Hawaii. With your support, this will become the reality.
We
are now raising a fund for the airfare of 15 children, which is about 40,000
USD. I AM-CED is our umbrella non-profit organization to receive tax deductible donations:
