Student Volunteers working in Ishinomaki, Japan

From May 3rd to the 7th, 90 Japanese and 35 International students
from 20 different countries went as volunteers to Ishinomaki, to support the reconstruction of Northeastern Japan. This is a small video summarizing their 5-day experience there which has marked them for a lifetime and has flourished a new friendship with the fishermen and their families, that will never perish.

Thank you to the fishermen and their families for receiving us volunteers for the first time in their village.
Thank you to the volunteers who went to Ishinomaki, and for the ones who are signing up for this project.

These are the lyrics of the song in English

I know what's in your eyes with just looking at you
(I know) you're tired of walking and walking
and walking, always in circles in the same place

I know that windows can be opened
to change the atmosphere depends on you
it'll help you, it's worth it once more

To know it's possible, to want it to happen
to get rid of our fears, to expel them
to paint our faces with the colour of hope
to tempt the future with our hearts

It's better to get lost than never having boarded
better to fall in temptation than giving up trying
even though you see it's not that easy to start
I know that impossible can be achieved
that sadness will go one day
and it'll be like that, life will change and change

You'll feel your soul flying
for singing one more time

To know it's possible, to want it to happen
to get rid of our fears, to expel them
to paint our faces with the colour of hope
to tempt the future with our hearts

To know it's possible, to want it to happen
to get rid of our fears, to expel them
to paint our faces with the colour of hope
to tempt the future with our hearts

It's better being able to shine
than just trying to look at the sun

To paint our faces with the colour of hope
to tempt the future with our hearts

To know it's possible
to want it to happen
to paint our faces with the colour of hope
to tempt the future with our
hearts
