HANDS Kitakami
It's not just mud – Volunteer in Tohoku
I wanted to spread my 2 weeks of volunteer time across different groups to check out different affected areas and to experience working with both a Japanese group and foreign group. In the end, these groups worked out since they were operating in December and because they didn't require any orientation and training.
They'll even accept people who are there for only a day so give them a shout if you'll be in the area!
Of course I'll report back with a full write up when I return. |
That's quite noble and awesome!
Unfortunately, I only dedicated one day of my next trip to the area. I'll be in Ishinomaki on March 11th after checking out Matsushima and Fukushima.... My health isn't all that great, so volunteer work isn't something I think I can do too well....
Keep us posted and good luck!
