Aid For Japan is host to another orphan’s visit to the UK this summer. Part of Aid For Japan’s mission is to reach out to some of the orphans from the tragic events of 2011. While the charity aims to connect with these children through the annual summer residential courses, it’s also beneficial for the orphans to visit the UK when the charity can arrange it.
A special welcome party is being arranged at Tokyo Diner, a Japanese restaurant in central London.
