Abstract
    After married, I moved to Fukushima, attracted by its natural setting. Our lives were badly disrupted by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the subsequent nuclear accident. Worried about radiation effects on my daughter, I moved with her to Kanagawa. As an evacuee, I almost lost contact with my husband, my friends, and the local community. It was then that I came to be involved in the “Hoyou Camp” for children in Fukushima run by the “Kahchanzu” group. We hope to continue our work for the children in Fukushima, as well as for my daughter and myself.
