At APFS, we were engaged in Projects to
Support the Disaster Area (vol. 1 – vol. 3) after the Great East Japan
Earthquake from March to May 2011 by focusing on providing non-Japanese food.
In the following, we did not do any disaster support activities for some time;
however we have been thinking that we want to contribute again to the disaster
area in some form.
We re-launched the APFS Project to Support
the Disaster Area to show our wish in a concrete form that we would like to
contribute to Japanese society (the disaster area) as foreign residents who
have been living in Japan for a long time.
We will engage in support activities at the
disaster area, in Rikuzen Takata City and Ofunato City in Iwate prefecture,
from April 3rd (Wed) 2013 with 6 members from 5 countries of Iran,
Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Philippines. We are able to provide our
support activities with the collaboration of Daikon-kon Project staff (in
Hiraizumi-cho, Nishi-iwai-gun, Iwate Prefecture) who have been doing their
activites in the disaster area from after the earthquake up until now.
We will report on our support activities at
the disaster area on this blog.
