The photo exhibition tour, which centers on<br />
children in disaster-stricken areas, started<br />
at the Tokyo International Forum. It will also<br />
be displayed in the United Nations building<br />
gallery in New York in March 2012. The pictures<br />
were taken by photographers working<br />
for 25 media companies in Japan and by 21<br />
other photographers. A long-term assistance<br />
is sought for by this exhibition.<br />

The EYE SEE TOHOKU Project<br />
This project aims to provide an opportunity<br />
for children affected by the earthquake<br />
and the tsunami to document their surroundings<br />
and express their thoughts and<br />
feelings through photography. Twentyseven<br />
primary and junior high school students<br />
participated in photography workshops<br />
in November and December 2011.<br />
Paying attention to what children see and<br />
think helps to realize child-friendly reconstruction<br />
efforts and child-friendly societies.<br />
The exhibitions are held at various<br />
locations in Japan and at the UNICEF<br />
House in New York.<br />
Note: The photography workshops and the<br />
exhibitions are supported by Sony Corporation.<br />
The Happy Birthday 3.11<br />
This project aims to express the value of<br />
life and hopes for the future. Conducting<br />
this project gives everyone in Japan an<br />
opportunity to think about what kind of<br />
future is awaiting these children born on<br />
March 11. JCU is supporting this project<br />
by preparing a public service announcement<br />
and holding photo exhibitions of<br />
these children.<br />
