Hibiya Library & Museum

Hi everyone!

It took me a while to prepare, but I'm pleased to introduce splendid speakers this time.

It's been five years since the Great East Japan Earthquake. I invited Robin Lewis, International Coordinator in Disaster Relief, Peace Boat (http://peaceboat.org/english/?menu=44) and Angela Ortiz, Representative Director, OGA for Aid (http://www.ogaforaid.org/). Both of them have been working for Tohoku since 2011.

Robin joined volunteering in Tohoku at the time of the earthquake as an international volunteer coordinator and now involves with disaster relief. Angela organizes a group of international volunteers, now an NPO, and works for community rebuilding with survivors in Minami-Sanriku.

Also, my colleague Naoko-san and I visited Fukushima including the areas within a radius of 20 kilometers from Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant, and listened to the stories there. I'd like to share our experiences, raise challenging issues they're facing, and discuss it with you all.

Jump in, listen to these stories and exchange ideas each other!

Place: Studio Plus Lecture Hall, 4th Floor, Hibiya Library & Museum
