Zoom Meeting with Fukushima Kids

We had two zoom meetings with the fukushima kids last month.

It was great to catch up with the kids who already

 have came to Cairns before as well as those who will coming to cairns to share the opportunity.

They talked about how important their story was, about 

311 earthquarke and nuclear accident

 as children young generation don't remember about it much.

We would like to be a platform for people from Fukushima

So they can share their story comfortably.

If you would like to join the next meeting,

Please let us know by mail;  smilewithkids8@gmail.com

Thank you.

Zoom Meeting with Fukushima Kids

Because the Fukushima kids can't come to Cairns due to Covid 19 this year, 

we have a zoom meeting with the Fukushima kids once a month.

The students who came to Cairns before also shared their experiences in Cairns to new students.

Their main message is
Please don't worry, Just enjoy great experience in Cairns!

We would like to continue zoom meeting with Fukushima kids for follow up till they can come to Cairns.

If anyone would like to join this meeting, please let us know.
