WFC's Operation・Directors & Staff
Operation of WFC
Since the founding of WFC, Directors from the U.S. have come over as volunteers to help with the operation of WFC.
In addition, we have received help from A-bomb survivors over the years. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to them.
Except for the paid bilingual staff, all of WFC's activities are carried out by volunteers.
All of the people involved with WFC volunteer their skills and abilities to help build bridges between the world and for peace.
