KIDS EARTH
CAR Project

Our stance of wanting to contribute to local activities in Japan has resulted in coming across withKIDS EARTH FUND. Last year, there was an art workshop in India related to a local support projectsponsored by Cadbury. “There has been a number of events but I have never seen children
expressing their emotions with joy this much before.” These were the words from the local staff andthey were delighted with the powerful paintings created by children’s hands. One of the paintings is
displayed at the front counter of our company and is encouraging a lot of people every day. We
thank the children, KIDS EARTH FUND and hope to contribute more in the future.

Currently, Cadbury is contributing to a number of local activities around the world such as ‘Clown
Doctor (Doctors and Nurses providing laughter and joy to the children by dressing up as clowns)’ inAustralia, ‘Touch a Life (supporting children suffering from cancer)’ in Singapore and donating
sports facilities in Brazil for children with underprivileged backgrounds.

Since its foundation, Cadbury has contributed to many local activities and there are some documents stating that Cadbury is the founder of CSR.

Cadbury is a worldwide candy brand established in Britain in 1824. In 1961, Cadbury brand started
their advancement to Japan with the gum called Chicklets in 1961. Since then, Cadbury has
produced a number of brands such as Halls, Clorets and Xili Crystal.

are powerful and full of hope for their brightfuture.
We would like to continue to support thosechildren with material and mental aids, sothat they grow up cheerfully, enjoy painting
pictures, and live a spiritually rich life.

This is the fourth Kids Earth Home in Ho
Chi Minh City. It was established in 2002 toprovide a free education to the children
called street children who make a living by
selling lottery tickets or newspapers and bypolishing shoes. Currently, there are thirtyeight children, including orphans, living inthe Home.
The art workshop we held this time was iscalled “Planting & Painting Project.” The
Children who participated in the workshop
planted 4 trees and flowers and learned
about the environment. It was the very firstexperience for those who have grown up ina poor area and lived in the Home. It
seemed to be a great opportunity for themto learn and think about the environment
and nature. After touching and planting thetrees and flowers, they painted pictures of
the town with a lot of greenery which got
water and nutrition and grew beautifully.

We also held another art workshop at thesixth Kids Earth Home in Cambodia. There
are 400 orphans and street children coming
to the school. They planted trees rightbeside the schoolyard which was just built
last year and watered them with water froma river as they pray for the growth of thetrees.
After that, children started paining picturesin two classrooms. They painted what theyfelt and found through their first tree plantTwo pictures were given as a gift to children at
Kids Earth Home in Cambodia from Kokuritsu
Musashino Gakuin.

Which one should I paste?

We held a work shop in Jikei University Hospital on February with a theme of ‘Welcoming
Spring’. The weather was bit chilly and still
far from spring, but the concept was dragging in spring to our side with their work.
A number of volunteers created hearts, flowers and animals made by paper which represent an image of spring. Those pieces werecreated gently by hand and children were very
delighted with the cute paper parts. The
children either started off by drawing withpaint or pasting the paper pieces to express
their own imaginary spring.
All of their work
tur ned out to bevery colorful and it
seemed like theirbeautiful pieces ofwork were gathering spring right infront of us.

The first art workshop for year 2009 was heldin January, with the objective of expressing
New Year’s ambitions and thoughts in theform of art.
Although it was a cold rainy day, children’s
brushes moved swiftly as if to brush away thegloomy weather. A girl, who loves to paint,
finished her paintings one after another.
There were some who were very careful inlayering different colors over and over onto
the paper. Those who were watching from adistance at first eventually became fascinatedand joined the lively crowd. The play room
became full of kids enjoying the art workshop.
Every child seemed very satisfied with thepaintings and their faces were filled withsmiles. Once the paintings were set out to bedried, the play room turned into a gallery.
Many nurses and nursery staff visited to see
the paintings.

and lively year

The canvas with lotsof precious things

This time, the theme was “Precious things”
Firstly, we thought about what precious things
were for them by looking at pictures drawn by
Croatian children.
“What could precious things be for us?”
For the participants who are 2 to 6 year-oldchildren, it was the first time for most of themto think about such a theme.
A few children took a while to come up withsome ideas.
However, they were still cheerful. Children
filled the blank canvas with lots of preciousthings such as rainbows, forests, fruits and soon.
As they were done drawing, each of themhad a chance to introduce their drawings totheir friends, teachers and volunteers. The
precious things we realized through this art
work shop – May they stay in children’s heart
forever.
