Kita-kyushu

Organized together with a local group formed for this project since 2007. Every year, they run a
summer vacation kids program with 30 kids in age from 8 to 15. They play, cook and live in nature in
order for them to learn independence, sensitivity, group cooperation, and to have global understanding
and interest in different cultures. Volunteers need to be prepared to spend 24 hours with the kids for this
period (except for a few days off).
W: We will help out and live together with kids in the Kids Village supporting activities and sharing your
culture. We will encourage the kid’s independence and creativity by letting them plan the schedule, so
you will need to respect their ideas!
