Ohana International School is an active participant in volunteer and community-building events in disaster-affected areas such as Tohoku and Tibet, and the poverty-affected regions such as Cambodia in Southeast Asia.
Ohana International School in Tokyo is committed to helping people in the tsunami-affected regions of Japan in their recovery. Many friends and families of our school participated in these efforts and participated in volunteer and charity work, such as our recent collaborations with Place to Grow in Ishinomaki.
Early in 2011, Ohana International School in Tokyo Director Shelley Sacks, together with some parents, engaged in volunteering in Cambodia. Caring for others is a regular topic of conversation at Ohana, and we believe exposing children to different cultures, lifestyles, and environments gives them meaningful experiences to share with the Ohana community.

Links to some of Ohana’s volunteer stories:
Ohana International School, together with the Minato-ku ward office, started this project about 8 years ago.
Going to the park is not only a daily activity and a frequently discussed topic, but also one of our park’s major assets. We have continued this Minato ward office effort so that we can provide children with fundamental social experiences.
Together with parents, Ohana children engage in activities such as planting seasonal flowers and cleaning the park three times a year. This initiative helps children develop a sense of social responsibility and connection to their community.
Please see our blog for updates and to learn more about current Ohana-specific volunteering and community-building activities.
The Noto Peninsula is our current focus.
Yes.
We love them to.
We had a Halloween Hunt at Kinuta Koen several years ago.
If you join OPTO, you have an “in” on all of the events.
