|
|
|
It has been 3 years since we have started our support activities, which begun with my participation in the nationwide antinuclear action called "Global Peace March" of India in 1999, a year after the nuclear test of India Pakistan in 1988.
In August 1999, I met
Mr. Ghanshyam Biruee, the representative of the radiation victim of the uranium mine of BIHAR state (Jharkhand state now). The film "Buddha Weeps in Jadugoda" which won the Grand Pix of the 8th Earth Vision(Earth Environment Film Festival), is the documentary film of the place. The director of this film,
Mr. Shriprakash, visited Japan in February 2000 and by our invitation, both
Mr. Ghanshyam Biruee and
Mr. Shriprakash came to Japan for the tour of show and lecture in August this year.
In October 2001, people of "Global Peacemakers Association (Ms. Moritaki takes leading part) " and Ms.Kawabata of the Japanese Y.W.C.A. visited Jadugoda. And also in December of the year, Dr. Koide of the Kyoto University nuclear reactor research institute, Ms. Unoda of No Nukes Asia Fourm, and a photographer, Mr. Kobayashi visited there.
Our interchange deepend very much, and the shelter construction for the children having an obstacle, which is our dream and hope of the people in Jadugoda, has started.
I have to say sorry about not giving all of you the accounting report of the fund. I would like to report you not only accounting report but also present condition of our activities with photographs of the visit. I think this Website renewal will be the good opportunity for reporting you these things. I hope you will pay more attention to our activites. Thank you for your cooperation!
