On February 22, 2005, a program for introducing volunteers, called BORAMADO, was held for employees of the Nippon Paper Group. BORAMADO was planned and operated by the employees' participation support group of the Group's Corporate Citizenship Promotion Team in cooperation with Japan Philanthropic Association. More than a hundred Group employees —more than expected —enthusiastically packed the venue and the program turned out to be a great success. In the first half of the program, guest volunteer organizations took turns and gave five-minute presentations about their activities. The second half was spent in free exchanges. Some participants attached stickers with messages written in local languages on the books to be presented to children in Asia and others enjoyed learning how to operate a wheelchair at the hands-on learning booth. A charity secondhand books market was held at the venue, where approximately 160 books were sold. Sales of approximately 24,000 yen have been donated to Shanti Volunteer Association's“Disaster Relief Operation for Areas Affected by the Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami.” Secondhand book market Participants attach stickers in local languages on children's picture books →Go back to Support for the Group's Employees in Participating in Community Activities
