This Foundation delegated 41 Atomic Bombing Witnesses and 150 A-bomb Legacy Successors.
The Atomic Bombing Witnesses are survivors (
hibakusha) who speak about their own experience of the bombing, and the reality of the damage from the bombing, to groups visiting Hiroshima, including students on school trips and peace study tour groups.
The A-bomb Legacy Successors are people who have received the stories of the atomic bombing experience and the wish for peace from the
hibakusha, and will communicate these to future generations.
They need to have completed three years of training.
This year, nineteen new messengers commenced activities.
