notes: SOURCE: SEEDS Asia - SitRep 8 dated 3/24/11 http://www.seedsasia.org/eng/sit_8.pdf "KnK: distribution of basic relief item and baby fomula milk in Kita Ibaraki city, Ibaraki Pref." ---------------------------------- Tokyo, Monday 14th March 2011, Dear Friends, Dear Children, Dear Partners, We are now receiving messages from all the countries we, KnK, have been working in, and from Europe, from USA. From Cambodia, we received some images of our kids showing panels with messages saying “We are with you”, “We do worry about you”. Our partner SUF from Bangladesh has proposed to send some volunteers to help us. Messages from Indonesia, from Philippines, from our friends and families. I want to express you our deepest gratitude. We know you are with us and that’s the most important thing today. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you ! As these messages are addresseed not only to us in Tokyo but also to thousands of Japanese suffering from those disasters a few hundreds km away from here, we shall upload these messages on our websites (www.knk.or.jp, www.ko-and-co.com, www.1001stories.asia). We are sure that they will reach to many of us here in Japan and warm our hearts. Here are some information we want to share with you. What KnK Japan will do We are not medical teams nor specialists in logistic. Our field is education and social assistance We shall go up to north this coming Wednesday 16th March or Thursday 17th March< We are now contacting with all schools, children centers and private organizations (such as Rotary and Soroptimist Clubs) we have been working with in the last years and that might lead us to specific places in the devastated area. We shall identify some places that might need suport and shall implement “Children Centers” to receive and warm children, youth and their relatives during the daytime, until reconstruction starts (we are now thinking of a 3 month-period project). We shall identify NGOs or local groups that might need help to go on their activities. We shall work in a close collaboration with other NGOs in Japan, and shall work under the direction of the governmental agencies in charge of this situation and in charge of volunteers assistance. We shall start raising funds through our News Letter, web site, and directly from our faithful partners in Japan. All accounting will be supervised by our Auditing company and will be presented through our web site in total transparency. We shall launch a solidarity operation with all schools in Japan that have participated in our “GoEn dama Campaign” (5 yen coins collect). Children from Japan, and also children from all our project fields in Asia, would be able to show their compassion and to express their solidarity to all children and youth affected by this Earthquale and Tsunami. Tokyo Our office and house were strongly shaken last Friday and we had to evacuate 3 times. We still have from time to time minor shakes. Most of trains and metro lines are now working but electricity will be cut by rotation in the different district in and around Tokyo. We are of course waiting for more news to come. A major earthquake (M7) is expected (at 70% chance it will happen in the following 3 days) in northern Kanto, that means north of Tokyo. We still don’t know if the situation in the nuclear plants are under control or not completely (the reactor N°3? in Fukushima power plant did explosed this morning at 11:05). KnK Japan, International projects. All our projects are of course maintained. In Pakistan we are now building schools after the 2005 earthquake (30 schools) and the flood from last summer (around 80 temporary schools). Next phase should start early April. It will. In Bangladesh construction of the cooperative in the typhoon affected area has started. A new House for street children will open this summer In Cambodia, Philippines, Indonesia, Burma and Jordan our Houses and Youth Centers will remain active as usual. We are still planning to go to Timor Leste to implement our new project later on this year. Our project in Palestine should start this summer. Only our “Young Reporters for Friendship”, scheduled next week in Jordan will be postponed, but we shall propose, to all our young reporters and to schools in Japan, to make some action regarding earthquake and tsunami in Tohoku and Kanto region. In a few days, Spring will come to Japan. There will be Cherry blossoms everywhere in Japan. Exept in Tohoku. Our dream is to have as many a children center as we could in that area. Our dream is to bring some part of that Spring to as many children as possible. Again, Thank you for your support, Please keep in touch, Dominique Leguillier KnK Executive Director -> SOURCE: SEEDS Asia SitRep 14 dated 4/18/11 http://www.seedsasia.org/eng/sit_14.pdf KnK: distribution of basic relief item and baby formula milk in Kita Ibaraki city, Ibaraki Pref (finished). and childcare/education in Rikuzentakata, Iwate.

mission: KnK is devoted to supporting disadvantaged youths in Asia and encouraging international friendships. Our mottos are “Education and Friendship with Children in Asia” and “Growing Together.” Our mission: 1. Support children on the street, victims of trafficking and natural disasters, and youth under forced labor or in conflict with the law. 2. Reintegrate these youths with their families and into society. 3. Help them grow into independent adults with confidence and self-esteem. 4. Promote international awareness and cooperation among Asian youth. 5. Provide education and extracurricular activities.? KnK believes such activities greatly enrich the children’s lives and aid them in becoming well-rounded adults. Since September 2000, when our first project was initiated in Cambodia, the association has never stopped growing. At that time, only 10 boys were accommodated at our "House for Youths" in Battambang, Cambodia. Now, there are more than 2,000 children and adolescents, both boys and girls, who benefit from our support in ten different countries in Asia. The characteristics of our activities have broadened to include aid and relief for victims of natural disasters. This started in 2005, when we decided to support children affected by the Indian Ocean Tsunami and by the massive earthquake in Pakistan. We were determined to establish a Japanese association which would be recognized and respected. We are still on our way to achieving that goal. From initiation, we have gained support from our international partner organizations, including International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), and Terres des Hommes-Netherlands (TdH-Netherlands). The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Japan Post also have provided grants for our projects. Private companies in Japan, such as Shogakukan Inc., UBS Securities Japan Ltd., and ITOCHU Corporation also support us. In addition, close to 6,500 individual supporters bring us great confidence to continuing our efforts Today we are constantly working towards our goal - to help underprivileged children and youths in Asia become reintegrated into society. -> KnK is devoted to supporting disadvantaged youths in Asia and encouraging international friendships.
