NPO KOMA Activities
2000
At the request of the Ethiopian Embassy in Tokyo, we visited the drought hit town of Gode in the south of Ethiopia. Drought was said to be caused mainly by global warming. The Ethiopian Ambassador to Japan accompanied us. We decided to co-organize a concert by our artist Idaki Shin, based on the mutual understanding that drastic solutions to accumulating problems could only be reached when the internality of people was changed by our concert for peace. Simultaneously we started to plan support programs to Ethiopia and that year we donated a portable X-ray machine to the Gode hospital in response to the local authorities’ demand.
