No More Pika

Hello, we are Yohtaro and Aritomo, high school students aiming to spread awareness of the dangers and impact of nuclear weapons. With our donations, we will purchase copies of children's books such as “Hiroshima No Pika” by Maruki Toshi, that describe the experience of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and donate them to schools and public library systems in New York. Our ultimate goal is to create an accessible way for children to be educated on the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the use of nuclear weapons. This would be a step forward in preventing them from being used in the future. The donations we do not use will go to organizations such as ICAN (The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) which work on nuclear nonproliferation.

私たち、耀太朗と存知はアメリカの高校生です。目標は、私たちの周りにいる外国人に広島と長崎に落とされた原爆が起こした悲劇を伝え、核兵器の危なさを意識してもらうことで、核兵器が将来使用されることを防ぐことです。集めた寄付金で、丸木俊著「ひろしまのピカ」の英語版を購入し、ニューヨークの学校と図書館に配る予定です。
