Donating to Music and Art Education | Certified NPO JHP・School Building Association | JHP・School Building Association
Summary
Certified NPO JHP・School Building Association is an international cooperation NGO dedicated to supporting the desire of children and youth in Asia, primarily Cambodia, to learn. Cambodia faces significant challenges in arts education, including a severe shortage of qualified personnel due to the civil war and a lack of adequate teaching materials and curriculum, resulting in very limited class time compared to Japan. JHP's arts education support, based on the belief that "there are no language barriers in music and art," focuses on fostering rich hearts, imagination, and expressive power. Their phased support includes teacher training, curriculum development (culminating in textbooks for grades 1-6), art projects like collaborative creation and festivals, and material donations such as keyboard harmonicas and art supplies. The current phase (2024-2027) aims to build a system for nationwide dissemination. Donations are crucial for delivering education that allows Cambodian children to experience the joy of music and art and cultivate rich sensibilities.
