HappyDolls for Tohoku
Children are invited to design and create HappyDolls to be sent to children in Tohoku, Japan. HappyDolls are smiling ambassadors of hope, made by children for children, cheering and comforting those in need. Singer AK Akemi Kakihara will lead a short sing-a-long at the end of the session.
