Before There Was PoH
The Playground of Hope story started writing itself after the disastrous earthquake and the subsequent tsunami that struck the Tohoku region of Japan in March 2011.
At that time, Playground of Hope’s founder, Michael Anop, dedicated his free time to volunteering in the area. First, he took part in the initial clean-up, and later helped supply communities with drinking water and fresh food as part of the Save Minami Soma project.
