We are promoting activities to promote the expansion of the venue. Musical instruments are provided free of charge to children who want them, and they can receive instruction from school music teachers and specialized musical instrument instructors. Currently, we have formed a cooperative system with Soma City in Fukushima Prefecture and Otsuchi City in Iwate Prefecture, and are actively working on the dreams and hopes of children who will lead the future, mainly at elementary schools .
In the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, NEC has named the NEC Group's Tohoku reconstruction support activities the "NEC 'TOMONI' Project."
