There are 200~300 thousand children a year obliged to stay in hospital because of serious sickness for a long period. They need to enjoy themselves and be happy even in hospitals like others outside. SHJ provide the rich creative activities by professional artists and this action is needed to be spread to many other hospitals throughout Japan. So we need continuous financial support.

Why don' you make use of your talent and make sick children happy? Let's bring happy time full of creativity to the monotonous and boring life with the pain. By providing the activity regularly, hospitalized children can participate in the activity repeatedly and look forward to with a prospect. We believe this makes the children regain sense of accomplishment and confidence and also keep on having volition fight against illness.
