The workshop was planned,

by 8 nursing students who
participated in the TOMODACHIJ&J Disaster Nursing Training
Program with support of JJCC.
The students worked hard forthe workshop even though
they were to take the National
Examination for Nurses shortly
after. The workshop started
with a presentation by students
focusing on the importance ofstress (mental) care that theylearned in the U.S. Study Tour,
followed by a presentation by Ms.
Yoshie Kaneko, Representative
Director of NPO Ishinomaki
Revival Support Network.
Ms. Kaneko talked about her
disaster experience and theendeavors of the affected areas
toward revival. The participating
fathers, mothers, and children
listened closely to the stories
of people going through pain
and taking firm and strong
steps. In the latter part of theworkshop, each parent-childpair discussed what to pack inan emergency bag. The one

the participants an opportunity
to recognize the importance of

A surgery experience seminar for children organized
by Johnson & Johnson in collaboration with medical
institutions throughout Japan. Children dressedin operating gown experience 4-6 virtual surgicalprocedures including suturing and cardiac catheterizationby using actual medical devices under the guidanceof physicians. The types of procedures children canexperience vary among collaborating medical institutions(e.g. general surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiovascularsurgery). At the end of the seminar, a certificate isawarded to each participant at the ceremony.
