FedEx has supported a program aimed at nurturing creativity and environmental awareness among children living in foster care facilities in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The initiative, organized by the non-profit organization Mirai no Mori, took place around Mount Mitake in western Tokyo. FedEx volunteers engaged with the children through nature-themed craft activities, sharing valuable time together.
During this day-long program, children gathered materials along the Tama River and brainstormed ideas to create unique nature art. FedEx volunteers assisted them in freely expressing their creativity while also learning about the importance of environmental conservation.
Kei Kubota, Managing Director of FedEx Express in Japan, stated: "FedEx is committed to the healthy development of local communities and environmental improvement. Experiences with nature not only foster creativity and teamwork but also instill environmental awareness in children. We believe these values empower them throughout their lives to engage with society compassionately and proactively."
