In the summer of 2008, CRASH responded to the Great Sichuan Earthquake with immediate relief and ongoing training and support for workers meeting the needs of children in the evacuation camps. Operation SAFE, a curriculum designed to help children who have been through trauma was developed and used successfully in the camps helping children to regain hope and receive the help they need.
As Sichuan is being rebuilt, children are still living in evacuation camps and still struggle with the lingering effects of the trauma that they experienced. CRASH is working with like-hearted groups in China to conduct Operation SAFE camps throughout the summer of 2009, bringing joy and hope to the children.
CRASH is continuing to develop the Operation SAFE curriculum for use in disasters around the world and here in Japan. |

Christian Relief, Assistance, Support and Hope (CRASH) is a network supporting Christians to do relief work in Japan and around the world. CRASH equips and prepares churches and missions to be there to help their communities when disasters strike and coordinates Christian volunteers to work with local ministries in the event of a disaster.
CRASH is available to conduct Disaster Volunteer Training seminars (DVT) for churches, schools or missions with a focus on pastoral crisis intervention and practical volunteer leadership.
CRASH has produced a child-safe place trauma intervention curriculum called “Operation SAFE” that is used to help children in evacuee centers recover from trauma.
CRASH has provided leadership and coordination for volunteers responding to typhoons, landslides, blizzards and earthquakes in Japan and internationally in cooperation with the JEMA and the JEA. |
