Our team is heading to Sendai to hold a special OperationSAFE Christmas event with children at Seaside Chapel, a church that was swept away with it’s entire community in the tsunami.
In the summer of 2011 after the tsunami, CRASH Japan began holding OperationSAFE child trauma camps with children affected by the tsunami and the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. OperationSAFE introduces children to the cute character Pete as he is separated from his family and meets new friends, and helps them to process their own complex series of emotions after trauma.
Follow up events held at Christmas and Easter help children review what they have learned and keep contact with ongoing care through the local church.
