Tokyo schools support children in South Africa

Friends of Child Protection (FCP), a non-profit organization based in South Africa, are holding their second annual contest for schools in Tokyo.

FCP was established in 2002 and has since assisted over 40,000 children who have been affected by political, economic, and HIV-AIDS-related issues in South Africa, where a serious crime is committed against a child every six minutes. FCP provides children with comfort packs and food parcels, and supports organizations within the Child Protection System.

The 15 schools participating in the contest ask students to draw a picture or write a story about how they would change something in the world to help those less fortunate. A donation of ¥1,000 per entry is encouraged.
