The Kohoen Social Community Service Group Site Visit – October 20, 2014

A group of 17 administrators of a social welfare facility in Japan are visiting Cleveland from October 20th -24th to learn about non-profit facilities who work with individuals who have disabilities in the United States. They expressed a particular interest in touring UCP of Greater Cleveland to learn about our adult day services, organizational employment and children’s services programs in addition to our transition program, Project SEARCH, specifically the site at the Cleveland Clinic. The group was referred by a former Social Work Field Instructor from Case Western Reserve Universe, Ms. Hikari Morikawa, who also served as their interpreter. The Chairman of the Kohoen Social Community Service group, Dr. Ko Hiroe assisted with arranging the tour. In addition, UCP was presented with a generous donation by the Kohoen Social Community Service group at the end of the tour.
