Healing Children through Art
Ms. Harumi Torii, Founder of Kids Earth Fund, believes in the healing power of creative activities. She holds variety of events to help children in the disaster area to freely express their feelings through painting. One day she shows some children a big canvas and encourages them to complete a painting of artistic messages from children around the world. This is a story of how traumatized children reacted and were comforted through heart to heart exchanges with the world.

Sadly, even in affluent countries such as Japan there are many children who suffer emotional problems as a result of the damaging influence they have received growing up in a materialistic society. In Japan, KIDS EARTH FUND hosts projects and workshops that are designed to help these children. Professional artist, specialist and musician volunteers design programs that foster children's imagination and help build their self-esteem and interest in helping others. 1000 children have participated in these Japan-based events.
