JCIE Survey of U.S. Support for 3.11 | NJERF Ranks in Top 20

Dear Friends and Supporters, On the third anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami and on behalf of the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC), the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund and the thousands supported through your generosity, I would like to thank you—not only for your donations, but for the love, prayers and hope that came with them.

Everything changed for us at the JCCCNC on March 11, 2011. Our hearts were broken as we watched the earthquake and tsunami devastate the Tohoku region of Japan. We all wanted to help, but felt helpless. We all wanted to somehow turn hopelessness into hope, but we didn’t know how. We realized that as a Japanese American cultural and community center we needed to respond, just as we did during the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake.

Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California

The JCCCNC responded to the March 11 disaster by establishing the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund (Relief Fund/NJERF), committing 100% of all money received to the citizen-to-citizen relief, recovery and rebuilding efforts for the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster.

We could never have imagined how large and how quickly this Relief Fund could grow, and were overwhelmed by the outpouring of care and humanity that we received from all over the world.

In this summary, we would like to share with you a small glimpse of what we have experienced since establishing the Relief Fund—the range of fundraising activities that took place: from small garage sales, school concerts and community events, to local businesses doing what they could. In the first few weeks, the number of supporters and donations to our Causes page was growing by the minute. Every dollar mattered and each dollar came with a message of hope for the survivors.

Also documented is the remarkable work and accomplishments of the various Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Japan that received support from the Relief Fund, many of which worked tirelessly to ensure that no one was overlooked during the most critical and difficult times.

The success of the Relief Fund would not have been possible without the support of the thousands of donors, event organizers, organizations, businesses and volunteers in the community and around the world; as well as the NGOs, firstresponders and volunteers making a difference in Japan. Although many are still without their homes and it is said that it will take many years to fully recover, please know that our continued thoughts and prayers will bring hope and inspire the survivors to take the small steps needed to continue to carry on.

There was something you could do, and you did!

With sincere gratitude,

Dianne Fukami JCCCNC Board President 2010-2012

JAPAN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND

The campaign—a community and volunteer driven effort—quickly grew to become the largest Japanese American community based relief fund in the United States, with over 12,000 donors, 25,000+ members on Causes.com and more than 300 events raising over $4 million. The JCCCNC Relief Fund was the 19th largest* fundraising campaign in the U.S. in response to the March 11 disaster.

What made the Relief Fund unique, and ultimately led to its astounding success, is its three-fold plan — Relief, Recovery and Rebuild—and its commitment to allocate 100% of the over $4 million in donations received to nonprofit organizations, local community organizations in the disaster areas and some that the JCCCNC has had long relationships with since the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake. Through these organizations, the funds were distributed based on the threefold plan that addressed the immediate as well as long-term program needs for the victims, especially those who need it most but are often forgotten — the elderly, children, the physically and mentally challenged and the migrant communities.

RELIEF

Covered the period immediately following the earthquake

and tsunami to meet life saving and survival needs such as daily necessities, shelter, medical care and senior and children services.

RECOVERY

A two-pronged approach consisted of Recovery

Phases I and II to address early, medium and long-term stages of recovery that helped the survivors adapt to their “new normal.” This phase provided relocation services; temporary shelter and housing needs; supplies for children, families and seniors; revival of education system; mental health trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) counseling; as well as community development support.

REBUILD

Assisted ongoing recovery and mental health efforts

and is supporting community and social development needs in the affected areas to rebuild the human spirit. *Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE), JCIE Special Report–U.S. Giving in Response to Japan’s March 11 Disaster Tops $630 Million (September 11, 2012) http://www.jcie.org/311recovery/usgiving-2.html

Kobe YMCA Immediately sent and coordinated volunteers with staff at local YMCAs The Kobe YMCA was the first organization the JCCCNC partnered with because of the relationship formed immediately following the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake in 1995. From that experience, the JCCCNC knew that the Kobe YMCA was the most knowledgeable and experienced among the NGOs in Japan that had done disaster relief work.

The Kobe YMCA immediately sent staff and volunteers to the affected areas to assess the situation and began training staff at the Sendai YMCA and other YMCAs to help ensure they were meeting the needs of the people.

Communication was also down in the disaster-affected area but the Kobe YMCA was able to keep in contact with local YMCAs in the Tohoku region and assisted and mobilized help as needs arose. From early communications, the Kobe YMCA found that along with lifesaving support—food, water and shelter—there was also need for basic essentials like flashlights, batteries, camping equipment and butane for heating and cooking. Once the Kobe YMCA identified these needs, items were purchased and brought from areas outside of Tohoku to the Sendai YMCA where they were then distributed to the local YMCAs and other organizations.

The immediate assistance and skills provided by experienced members of the Kobe YMCA were invaluable to the Sendai and other YMCAs and the thousands who benefitted from their early relief support.

Sendai YMCA M I YA G I P R E F E C T U R E

Assisted 11,766 in the first three months As a local community center, preschool and hotel management school, the Sendai YMCA immediately opened its doors to victims of the disaster offering food, shelter and assistance.

Because the Sendai YMCA facility is fairly large and is in a centralized location in Tohoku, initial funds were sent to create and sustain a volunteer center and provide childcare services to support families with young children.

In the first two months, the volunteer center housed, fed and supported close to 1,000 Directors, staff and volunteers from other YMCAs in Japan.

The main areas of focus during this time was to provide assistance and direct volunteers to the Morioka, Iwate and Tochigi YMCAs, and to deliver supplies to smaller communities whose needs were not being met. The Sendai YMCA also began to provide much needed outdoor group play programs to support the well-being of children in the coastal towns close to Sendai.

The Sendai YMCA also provided essential childcare support for parents who needed a safe environment for their children so they could better manage their personal and family matters following the disaster. The Sendai YMCA allowed parents to take care of elders, clean-up their homes and handle other issues, alleviating stress during a time of much uncertainty.

During the first three months 11,766 individuals benefited from the Sendai YMCA’s programs and services.

Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund Logo The Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund logo quickly became an iconic symbol of strength, hope, love and community. Its compelling yet uncomplicated design conveyed a true representation of the Relief Fund’s mission and goals, which was to turn hopelessness into hope by opening up our hearts to the victims of the tragic disaster.

April 2011 To Mr. Paul Osaki, On behalf of the Sen dai YMCA in Miyagi Prefecture, I would like our deepest appreciati to send on to the Japanese Cu ltural and Communi of Northern California ty Center and the many donors who have supported Northern Japan Earthq the uake Relief Fund.

The logo could be seen on t-shirts, buttons and bracelets all around the City, at SF Giants games on the big screen, on websites like Evernote.com, and replacing hundreds of Facebook profile pictures. It was instantly recognizable, memorable and trustworthy.

The brushstroke heart encircling Japan’s sun-disc was envisioned and created by Paul Osaki, JCCCNC Executive Director and Rich Lee, a versatile illustrator/graphic designer (RichLeeDraws.com).

“He [Paul] contacted me to help him

take his vision and transform it into a tangible design. As we were all shocked by the images we saw on TV, I believe the idea and execution was pretty raw and from the gut, and the final design embodied what we all felt for the victims of the 3/11 events.”

Delivered over 14 tons of water Delivered relief supplies to 73,816 in the first five months Repaired 60 senior care facilities that also supported persons with disabilities Association for Aid and Relief, Japan (AARJ) carried out relief efforts for the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake immediately after the disaster.

AARJ delivered emergency supplies to those who had limited access to aid, such as persons with disabilities, the elderly and survivors living at home.

Through their Building Healthy Communities Project, AARJ continued to provide rehabilitation and health related services, mobile clinics, sanitation services, transportation services, psychological care and community interaction/exchange events for persons with disabilities, the elderly and people staying in temporary housing in the affected areas of Miyagi and Iwate Prefectures.

Along with helping survivors with day-to-day living, AARJ also helped support schools in the Kashima Ward where the student population increased due to the relocation of schools surrounding the Fukushima nuclear plant. AARJ cooperated with the Board of Education to deliver staple foods for approximately 2,800 students, twice a week in July 2011.

AARJ’s long-term plans included assisting with the distribution of food and non-food items, repairing facilities for seniors and persons with disabilities in order for them to continue much needed services and engaging in recovery projects to make sure that those with limited access to aid can live a secure and healthy life.

Japan Overseas Christian Medical Cooperative Services I WAT E

M I YA G I P R E F E C T U R E S

Immediately set up mobile medical clinics Japan Overseas Christian Medical Cooperative Services (JOCS) set up a two stage plan and activated mobile medical clinics at several evacuation centers in Sendai (Miyagi Prefecture) and Kamaishi (Iwate Prefecture) working with churches in the area.

In the second stage that began in June 2011, mobile healthcare services physically sent nurses to visit people living in temporary shelters and in their own homes in remote areas. The medical centers set up in the early months are still supporting recovery work in Sendai and Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture with support from the Sendai Christian Center.

JOCS felt it was very important to provide aid to areas in Kamaishi because it was one of the most damaged areas and, even before the disaster, was in need of medical services. The disaster only made the situation worse.

The JOCS staff concentrated their effort in Kamaishi because they were concerned that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), alcohol addiction and suicide would continue to be serious issues that they would need to respond to. Preventive approaches for these problems were a real need and JOCS worked together with churches and the local government to provide the necessary care. It was JOCS’ wish that their work would continue to encourage survivors to understand the need for “community”— through working and living together while gaining a sense of hope through mental and physical care services.

M I YA G I P R E F E C T U R E S

Held 24 seminars in four months about mental health issues in the affected areas The Japanese Society of Traumatic Stress Studies (JSTSS) felt that the mental health welfare network in the coastal areas of the three disaster-stricken prefectures was greatly impacted by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. Even before the disaster hit, the area did not have sufficient numbers of mental health professionals such as psychiatrists, clinical psychologists or nurses. Searching for new professionals and providing long-term assistance from outside the area were obvious demonstrated needs.

JSTSS is the only traumatic stress related academic society in Japan and they have taken on the mission to provide long-term support in the disaster areas.

They have committed to provide advice to professionals in trauma care, ensuring that survivors will receive appropriate mental health services on the path to stabilization. JSTSS will also address the burnout and low morale among local professionals by supporting them so that they will be able to work in their own capacity to enhance the local mental health system.

The JSTSS plan is to continue their activities in the disaster areas through 2014. In Iwate Prefecture, continuous support will be provided in the area of children’s welfare in collaboration with the Child Welfare Division. In Miyagi Prefecture, regular visits will be made to public health centers in Kesennuma and Ishinomaki.

In Fukushima Prefecture, due to radioactive damage, evacuees are scattered throughout the prefectures; therefore, seminars and consultations will be provided in six designated areas so professionals can attend and obtain the support and resources they need.

15

Kobe YMCA Assisted 20,000 resettled survivors In the immediate relief phase, the Kobe YMCA sent staff and volunteers to the affected areas to assess the situation, as well as train staff and volunteers at the Sendai, Morioka and Tochigi YMCAs to ensure they were meeting the needs of the people, especially the resettlement of those whose homes were damaged or destroyed.

The Kobe YMCA also assisted 20,000 survivors who have resettled in the Kobe area. They provided care with temporary housing, assisted in addressing mental health and PTSD counseling needs and provided outdoor recreational respite opportunities for families and youth from Fukushima Prefecture. These activities eased the worry and doubt of the evacuees from the Tohoku region allowing them to return to their homes relaxed and more optimistic.

As the local YMCAs continue to work directly with the residents in Tohoku, the Kobe YMCA will further assist with ongoing development and support issues related to PTSD and staff and volunteer burnout. As experienced disaster relief supporters, the Kobe YMCA can help the local YMCAs anticipate some of the ongoing and changing needs that the communities may begin to face as they continue to rebuild their lives.

Kokkyo naki Kodomotachi I WAT E P R E F E C T U R E

Rebuilt community center to serve 470 displaced children Kokkyo naki Kodomotachi (KnK), originally Doctors Without Borders, conducted surveys in the devastated areas and chose Iwate Prefecture as their main focus due to the lack of aid organizations there. They filled immediate needs by providing blankets and necessities to shelters and modified buses to support the children and youth by offering them a place to study, read, chat and relax.

While working in Iwate, KnK began to concentrate more of their efforts in supporting community centers in Ofunato City, a coastal town that was heavily affected by the tsunami. Among 132 community centers, 34 were completely or severely destroyed. Realizing the important role these centers provide in the residents’ daily lives and in the communities’ restoration process, KnK decided to utilize funds from the Relief Fund to support the renovation and rebuilding of one community center, as well as provide furniture and educational materials for three other centers.

Over 380 families, including more than 470 children and youth, initially benefited from the re-opening of the community center, allowing them to resume activities and function as a focal point— allowing them to hold meetings to discuss and create a long-term recovery plan; organize traditional festivals; provide cultural, educational and recreational activities; be a safe and comfortable space for the elderly and students; and provide the community with support and assistance in overcoming the difficulties and challenges as residents eventually begin to feel secure and live a normal life.

17

Morioka YMCA I WAT E P R E F E C T U R E

Coordinated 1,000 volunteers in the first month The Relief Fund’s support to the Morioka YMCA was dedicated to providing aid and relief to Miyako City and other cities in Iwate Prefecture along the rugged and mountainous Pacific coast that were the hardest hit by the tsunami. In some cases, mountain climbers were organized to carry in relief supplies, food, water and medical supplies to areas that were unreachable by vehicles due to damaged roads and tunnels.

The Morioka YMCA also established a volunteer center in Miyako City at the Japan Christian Miyako Church to support survivors. Some of the initial volunteer activities included removing rubble and sludge, cleaning and disinfecting buildings for use, hosting training courses for 70 volunteers that would work in the disaster areas and working with Iwate University students to organize and encourage residents living in shelters to attend a cherry blossom viewing event.

It has been the Morioka YMCA’s philosophy to “support survivors so they can return to their normal lives” by building positive relationships and supporting the restoration of a healthy environment. They continue to seek out those who have fallen through the safety net of aid provided by government, community and other organizations.

Although they received temporary assistance from YMCA staffers from all over Japan, the Morioka YMCA’s long-term goal is to maintain consistent staffing allowing them to organize recreational programs for youth, provide child care programs and to continue to research and find solutions to effectively meet the changing needs of those most in need.

18

National Council of YMCAs of Japan In the first month, sent 419 Directors and 607 volunteers to support local communities The National Council of YMCAs of Japan (National YMCA) focused on creating supportive activities for those affected by the disaster, especially the children, youth, elderly, disabled and foreign citizens. The National YMCA devoted their efforts to training the first-responders of the relief and recovery activities.

The National YMCA also set up three phases for recovery. In phase one, the focus was the establishment of Disaster Volunteer Centers and supporting their operations and management. This included food distribution, supporting nurseries and schools, providing nursing care for the elderly and other pressing needs. By the end of April 2011, the National YMCA had sent a total of 419 Directors and 607 volunteers to the affected areas and evacuation centers.

In phase two, the main goal was support for survivors to return to a normal livelihood. This encompassed moving people into temporary housing, creating after school programs, organizing grief retreat camps and training students as disaster recovery volunteers.

For phase three, entitled “No More Evacuation Center,” they focused on returning survivors and communities to daily pre-disaster routines.

The National YMCA’s plan to succeed in phase three is to train youth leaders for recovery; support students with scholarships, housing and opportunities to participate in high schools correspondence courses; and establish a Recovery Support Center to create avenues for longterm mental counseling.

“We cannot thank you enough for awarding us funds to continue our disaster mental health assistance activities in Japan. The Roots Project began providing disaster assistance in Ishinomaki and nearby regions two weeks after the disaster, but it has been a struggle since we were financing our activities with our personal funds. The needs in the disaster-impacted areas are tremendous and the care for psychological trauma will continue for a long time. We are most grateful that your funding support will allow us to continue to provide the care for at least a two year period.”

Bringing smiles back to children’s faces through the support of mental health counseling “A mother with a four-year old son with developmental disabilities was worried that her son was regressing because of behavior problems. We gave her advice on how to comfort him, suggestions on how to deal with his behavior and demonstrated play activities with him, which made him smile and brighten up. The mother began to cry, saying that was the first time he smiled in a long time.”

Within 10 days of the Tohoku disaster, the staff and volunteers from the Roots Project, based in Tokyo, organized the disaster assistance initiative Recovery for Japan to offer much needed social, psychological, recreational and material support to disaster victims of all ages. Most of the activities and assistance were concentrated in the Ishinomaki, Ojika, Onagawa and the coastal areas in Miyagi Prefecture.

Recovery for Japan helped with outreach visitation because many residents are older, live alone and are isolated. Depression affected many people so Recovery for Japan provided weekly visitations to help resolve problems and crisis, particularly to those who had lost jobs or family members. Recovery for Japan provided recreational services and activities for kindergarten and elementary school students, as well as residents in temporary shelters and housing. It’s the simple things like providing an escort service for children who are afraid to walk to and from school that was deeply appreciated by their parents, many of whom were overwhelmed with their recovery effort.

Recovery for Japan also offered needed, valuable services like chiropractic, child care and relaxation therapy. Psychologists and social workers worked to combine psycho-educational workshops, for dealing with the stress from trauma, with lunch services. Participants were delighted to eat local dishes and the relaxed atmosphere provided a comfortable space to share their experiences which eventually evolved into a mutual self-support group.

Sendai YMCA M I YA G I P R E F E C T U R E

Provided hope for students who lost homes or family

“My family is doing well, but my house was destroyed by the earthquake. My family and I have lived in a shelter since then. We spent our savings to rebuild our house.

My mother raised four kids by herself. I decided not to go to school even though I passed the entrance exam, but my mother encouraged me to continue school. This scholarship helps my family, especially my mother. We really appreciate it. I would like to learn and have a great school life. Thank you very much for your support.”

— HITOMI H., FRESHMAN, H O S P I TA L I T Y D E PA R T M E N T, AUGUST 2011

The Sendai YMCA focused their efforts on sustaining shelters and childcare facilities in the Sendai and Matsushima areas. The Relief Fund assisted the Sendai YMCA’s Hotel and Confectionery Schools in the creation of scholarships for many first-year (freshmen in college) and second-year students, who either had to evacuate from their home due to the damage from the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear disaster or lost a family member.

The Sendai YMCA would not have been able to provide this opportunity without the support from the Relief Fund.

In a letter from Yuichi Kato, Principal, Sendai YMCA Hotel and Confectionery Schools:

“After the earthquake, many of the high school students were nervous about moving on to higher education. Some of them lost family members, their homes, furniture, cars, etc. The students stopped thinking about their future because they knew that they needed money to continue their education. They saw that their fathers and mothers were anxious about money. One of the student’s mother called us and asked us to advise her son not to quit school.

He had a difficult time talking with his family and got angry when they talked about school. I went to him and explained the scholarship to him. When I said, ‘you don’t have to worry about money,’ he was relieved and lighted up with delight.”

Along with making sure students in the affected areas still had a future to look forward to, the Sendai YMCA established relief shelters and senior and childrens services immediately following the disaster. The Sendai YMCA’s volunteer center was in operation by March 22 and provided immediate support to the three nearby areas on the coast damaged by the tsunami.

By June 2011, the Sendai YMCA had helped 11,766 individuals affected by the disaster.

M I YA G I P R E F E C T U R E S

“Bringing people together” at tea parties for 398 households in temporary living facilities The Shanti Volunteer Association (SVA) directed their funds to support activities and projects that focused on rebuilding and strengthening the communities they felt needed it the most, primarily in the coastal areas of Kesennuma and southern Iwate Prefecture where they serve mainly children (kindergarten and elementary school), seniors in community housing and shelters and survivors living in temporary housing.

“We are grateful for the support from the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund as it has allowed us to support a rehabilitation festival during the summer at Hikado Fishing Port.

Through this event, the SVA has brought the community closer together and residents have become more supportive in helping each other to make their community better.”

— KAZUKI KASAHARA, SHANTI VOLUNTEER ASSOCIATION PROJECT OFFICER, KESENNUMA

22

They worked to strengthen community development activities by cooperating with local NGOs, Welfare Council and other support groups to organize festivals and reconstruction projects. To support those living in temporary housing facilities they held tea ceremonies, events such as Gyoucha (informal tea), created foot baths in the emergency housing and visited with the elderly and unemployed to ensure that they were staying active and healthy.

SVA has also provided activities to improve the health and development of children by coordinating playground events, educational and cultural activities and by organizing regular parent socials, an important activity in the psychological recovery process, allowing them to get together to deepen their ties with other parents. Additionally, a “mobile-library” was created in the Iwate area where libraries were destroyed by the tsunami.

One other area of concern for the staff of SVA had been the livelihood of the fisherman and farmers. They have begun work utilizing networks with partner organizations to help “connect” them and help to promote their products to different markets. They are also working to broaden their network to create mutual cooperation and relationships between NGOs, citizen activist groups, local administrative bodies and others to help rebuild the community.

Tochigi YMCA TOCHIGI PREFECTURE

Purchased a passenger van that logged 3,500 miles in one month The Tochigi YMCA’s initial goals were to meet the daily needs of survivors and provide for children, elderly and others affected by the disaster. Their two areas of focus: supporting the Sendai YMCA who was responding to the needs of the coastal region of Miyagi and the southern coast region of Iwate Prefectures; the second focused on the Tochigi YMCA assisting in the city of Utsunomiya. Utsunomiya is the relocation center for evacuees from Fukushima Prefecture.

The funding from the Relief Fund helped provide basic needs for the evacuees, covering cost for additional staff and operations, transportation, seminars, children’s camps, summer programs and other pressing needs.

The YMCA van, which was purchased with support from the Relief Fund, has been providing children the opportunity to participate in YMCA day camps where they can play, get out of their temporary complexes and enjoy a free lunch.

Outings and events are important to the YMCA’s recovery plan and Sawakai, translated as “a casual gathering over a cup of tea,” have been organized in the Tochigi and Fukushima Prefectures so people can relax, talk and build community within their temporary living situations. The YMCA believes “building strong families makes a healthy community.”

The Tochigi YMCA, and the YMCA family as a whole, is committed to long-term support in helping the disaster victims build healthy families by serving the children, families and the elders in the community.

Towards Recovery and Healing Program “I am grateful for the help given by people from all over the world. I especially appreciate the training organized for us, the staff working directly with the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The training on trauma, PTSD, self-care and community services was so fruitful and meaningful for us. Our team can now work without anxiety through mutual care and giving. Not only did I gain knowledge but I felt the passion of the supporters from the people I met. They made me feel that we were not alone and people were still caring for the people in Tohoku. It has given me the driving power to keep moving on. Thank you very much!”

— YURIKO HISANO, KO K K YO N A K I KO D O M O TAC H I S TA F F

The Towards Recovery and Healing Program brought Japanese relief workers from Japan to the San Francisco Bay Area on September 29, 2011, for an intensive, week-long mental health training program to address the ongoing post-traumatic stress and mental health needs of both the victims and relief workers of the Great East Japan Earthquake recovery efforts.

The goals of the Towards Recovery and Healing Program included: learning culturally relevant and practical techniques in identifying and treating post-traumatic stress and mental health issues; sharing and discussing recovery issues, needs and concerns with other professionals in the field; learning about community based mental health services to help people; and to become advocates for the post-traumatic stress and mental health needs of the survivors.

Hiroshi Oe, the leader of the delegation and General Secretary of Japan Overseas Christian Medical Cooperative Services, was part of the 1996 delegation of relief workers who, as a staff member of the Kobe YMCA at the time, took part in a similar trauma workshop the JCCCNC organized following the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake in 1995.

Other participants of the Towards Recovery and Healing Program included directors, pastors, nurses and program/project coordinators. Many of them were first-responders and coordinators in the most devastated communities affected by the disasters. They worked tirelessly to support the survivors, many of whom lost everything on March 11. It was the first time that they were all able to talk about what they were going through, both physically and emotionally, which allowed them to understand that they also needed to heal to continue to support the survivors. Through their participation in this program they were able to begin to heal themselves and bring back the necessary tools and resources needed to aid the survivors for years to come.

25

Crayons for Japan The Crayons for Japan project was formed to address and support the ongoing mental health needs of the children affected by the catastrophic disasters of March 11. The main goal of the project was to use art as a creative and educational tool for children to help gain a sense of control over their environment as well as providing an opportunity for the children to develop a sense of hope, fun and laughter through art.

“Art is recognized as a therapeutic activity that can play a critical role in the healing process,” said Paul Osaki, Executive Director of the JCCCNC. “Children, although they may seem to be adjusting well after the disaster, often lack the ability and opportunity to express their emotions, sense of loss, helplessness and how to process the devastation they witnessed.”

Kristi Yamaguchi also felt the importance of the Crayons for Japan project and assisted through her Always Dream Foundation by donating art supplies for 18 daycare facilities and schools in the disaster-stricken area. While on the Project Aloha tour, Kristi visited some of the facilities to meet the children.

As part of the Crayons for Japan project, a book of the children’s artwork will be published and sold with the proceeds going to support youth art activities at community centers and organizations that are still in need of funding to support the ongoing health and well-being of children.

Ishinomaki City Baseball Field Restoration REBUILDING A FIELD OF DREAMS

After the March 11 disasters, the Ishinomaki City Baseball Field was used by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces as a staging area for humanitarian relief efforts with their vehicles completely damaging the field. In addition, a temporary housing community was built around the baseball field, so the city was unable to hold baseball practices, games or tournaments for the youth and minor leagues teams who would regularly use the field.

Rebuilding the field was important for the city because it would provide a place for the community to gather and allow children and teams to play.

Because baseball is considered the spirit of Japan, it would also be a symbol of hope for the people and the entire city of Ishinomaki, showing them that rebuilding their city was possible.

“Simply put, you’ve created a ‘field of dreams.’”

— John V. Roos, U.S. Ambassador to Japan

With support from Commissioner of Nippon Baseball Ryozo Kato, and through the collaborative effort of the Relief Fund, Major League Baseball (MLB), the U.S.-Japan Council and the Tomodachi Initiative, the Ishinomaki City Baseball Field Restoration project was created to refurbish the field and provide a recreational outlet and platform for rebuilding community togetherness. On October 30, 2011, a presentation of a $250,000 check was made to Ishinomaki City by NJERF representatives during the Project Aloha trip. Project construction began in February 2012 and was completed in late 2012.

On December 10, 2012, Ambassador John V. Roos, New York Yankee Curtis Granderson and Ishinomaki City Mayor Hiroshi Kameyama held a ceremony to re-open the baseball stadium. The cold and snow couldn’t put a damper on a terrific day in Ishinomaki City as hundreds of kids and fans showed up to see the beautifully refurbished baseball field.

Baseball has returned to Ishinomaki City and the town is once again cheering, helping them to move forward after March 11, and allowing children to dream again.

A special thanks to Commissioner of Nippon Baseball Ryozo Kato and Jim Small of Major League Baseball Asia for their support of this project.

The Relief Fund check presentation of $250,000 was made October 30, 2011 during the Project Aloha goodwill trip.

Tomodachi Initiative is a public-private partnership supported by the U.S. Government and the Government of Japan that supports Japan’s recovery and invests in the next generation of Japanese and Americans deepening the friendship between the U.S. and Japan for the long-term.

Project Aloha In late October of 2011, the 18-member Project Aloha delegation traveled to Japan to share the “aloha spirit” with over 10,000 residents and forced evacuees in some of the most devastated towns in Tohoku—Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture and Ishinomaki, Kesennuma and Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture.

The goals of the goodwill tour were to provide a sense of hope, support and enjoyment during the recovery efforts for the residents and evacuees; create an inspirational atmosphere for the people in Iwaki City—easing their fears and raising awareness by letting others know that it was safe to travel to Fukushima Prefecture; educate and share with the people of Japan the fundraising work of the Relief Fund; and upon their return home, for the delegates to be the voices and advocates providing first-hand information on the recovery efforts in Japan to the American public.

“When I saw the images of people’s houses being washed away and their life memories disappear in front of them, I knew that I had to do something.”

— Kristi Yamaguchi, Relief Fund Spokesperson and Project Aloha Co-Chairperson

Kristi Yamaguchi, 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist in figure skating, and Jesse Kuhaulua (also known by his professional sumo name as Takamiyama), a Hawai’i native and former sumo champion, served as the co-chairs and led the delegation of musicians, hula dancers and community leaders.

After arriving in Tokyo, the first visit for the delegation was with U.S. Ambassador to Japan John V. Roos and Jim Small of Major League Baseball (MLB) Japan to lend their support on behalf of the Relief Fund on a collaborative project to rebuild a baseball field in Ishinomaki City. The field was completely damaged from emergency trucks and equipment during the initial relief efforts. Later in the trip the group traveled to Ishinomaki City to see the field and present a $250,000 check to local officials. (Read more about the field restoration on page 27.)

The Project Aloha delegation then traveled to Spa Resort Hawaiians* (SRH) in Iwaki City, which is located just 30 miles south of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The close proximity to the nuclear disaster added to the negative stigma that has plagued the prefecture’s economy and has adversely affected many of its residents and businesses. As the first international delegation to Fukushima following the disaster, the delegation wanted to show others that Iwaki City was a safe place to travel to and to encourage visitors to return to the area.

The highlights of the visit to Iwaki City were two shows at the SRH with musical performances by ManoaDNA and Brother Nolan accompanied by hula. The huge crowd of over 1,200 guests was also treated to a Hawaiian luau. The finale of the shows brought smiles and laughter to the audience who stood and danced along with some of the original Hula Girls who joined in dancing “Nijiwo,” the theme song of SRH from the movie which has continued to inspire the residents, just as hula did after the closure of the coal mines. Their visit also brought back a sense of hope, pride and motivation to the thousands they met in Iwaki City. *The Spa Resort Hawaiians opened in 1966 with a Hawaiian theme, replacing the coal mining industry as the city’s main economic focus and lifestyle. It was also the inspiration for the 2006 award-winning movie “Hula Girls” and was a booming tourist destination prior to the March 11 disaster. The facility was partially damaged by the earthquake and temporarily housed residents in and around the coastal town of Iwaki, many of whom lost everything, as well as evacuees living in towns closer to the power plant.

A very touching moment took place at Chuodai Minami Elementary School for JCCCNC Executive Director, Paul Osaki.

Osaki said one of the girls in the audience, around seven years old, grabbed onto his leg and looked up at him “with the saddest eyes I ever saw,” he said.

Osaki and the girl began walking as the girl clutched his hand.

Osaki later found out that the girl had lost her father in the tsunami and that he reminded her of him.

“It was a way for her to touch the past, to connect with her father,” he said.

“I will never forget it.”

Members of the Project Aloha delegation included: Kristi Yamaguchi, Jesse Kuhaulua, Nolan Conjugacion, Jennifer Hamamoto, Bret Hedican, Alex Kawakami, Lloyd Kawakami, Nick Kawakami, Donna Kimura, Diane Matsuda, Wayne Miyao, Sarah Noyle, Robyn Omura, Paul Osaki, Chantelle Su’a, Mark Tanouye, Vieni Vitale, and Lori Yamaguchi.

“Seeing the devastation on television was nothing compared to what I saw that remained after the tsunami came and left the small coastal town of Kesennuma. Seeing remnants of people’s lives left near damaged homes and drifted cars saddened me, but I was inspired by all of the smiles and their strength in carrying on.”

— Jennifer Hamamoto, Project Aloha Delegate and JCCCNC Programs Manager

While in Fukushima, the delegates also delivered art supplies and gifts from Kristi and her Always Dream Foundation and performed for the Chuodai Minami Elementary and Junior High School students. Children were given shell leis and candy, which generated great energy and as they exited the hall they all said “thank you” and gave high-fives to the delegates.

The next stop for the delegation was Kesennuma, a northern fishing town in Miyagi Prefecture, which was almost completely engulfed and destroyed by the tsunami. The delegates were not prepared to see the miles and miles of desolate land as they encountered pieces of the residents’ lives just lying on the ground— family photos, fragments of a rice bowl, clothing—it was if they were invading the privacy of their space, and thus for many of them, it was difficult to know where to walk and how to respect the area.

The Always Dream Foundation also sponsored a Halloween party in Ishinomaki where children and parents from nearby shelters and homes were treated to activities, costumes and candy brought from America. It had been the first time after the disaster for many of the families to come together with their children and play.

The delegation then traveled to the Oya Community Center, a temporary housing facility that is coordinated by the Shanti Volunteer Association, an organization supported by the Relief Fund.

There they held a performance and hosted lunch and a Halloween party for families in the area. This helped lift the spirits of not only the children but the parents and older people who were encouraged to leave their rooms to participate in the festivities.

The final stop that would conclude the Project Aloha goodwill tour was the Sendai YMCA for a performance and to meet with residents, volunteers, students and scholarship recipients of Youth for the Future (see page 34). The visit to the Sendai YMCA, which was the Volunteer Center that coordinated YMCA volunteers from all over Japan, gave everyone a much needed boost of morale, a chance to enjoy themselves and an opportunity to meet international supporters who were also dedicated in providing quality care and support for the victims in Tohoku.

30

As the delegates traveled from city to city they served as goodwill ambassadors to spread the message of hope and strength to the people of Japan who have experienced so much tragedy, loss and suffering since March 11.

All of the members of Project Aloha left with a new respect for the people of Tohoku who showed great resolve and have promised to never forget by continuing to share their stories of the people, places and experiences from their trip.

SPECIAL THANKS TO SUPPORTERS OF PROJECT ALOHA: Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco, Consul General Hiroshi Inomata; With Aloha Foundation in Honolulu; Japan Airlines, the official airline sponsor; and Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream Foundation.

Dr. Shigeki Imamoto JAPANESE VETERINARIAN

The people weren’t the only ones who were affected by the devastation.

Dr. Shigeki Imamoto, owner and operator of the Shinjo Animal Hospital in Nara Prefecture and Chief Medical Advisor for the Japanese organization Farm of Hope, made an appearance at the JCCCNC in February 2012 to bring awareness to the plight of the Fukushima animals to the general public almost one year after the disaster.

Imamoto’s presentation, which was punctuated with graphic photos and videos of dead and dying animals, reflected upon his monthly travels to Fukushima Prefecture where he studied and documented how the disaster affected the pets and animals in the 20-kilometer “no-go” exclusion zone.

At the time of the presentation, thousands of pets and livestock were being left to starve and die because the Japanese government refused to let their owners and volunteers retrieve them, let alone feed and care for them.

In closing, Imamoto asked the audience to help spread awareness about the animals in Fukushima. He said he personally wasn’t accepting any donations but the Farm of Hope, which supports Fukushima farmers, is accepting donations and can be reached at http://fukushimafarmsanctuary.blogzine.jp/.

Our Hearts to Japan Remembrance Events The JCCCNC with the support of the Japanese American Religious Federation (JARF) and over 40 local community organizations, churches and the Japantown Merchants Association, held two remembrance events at the Peace Plaza in San Francisco’s Japantown. The first Our Hearts to Japan event was held one month after the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami on April 11, 2011, and the second—A Community Remembrance: Our Hearts to Japan was on March 11, 2012. The purpose for both events was to give members of the community and general public the opportunity to share messages of hope and love to support the survivors and remember the victims of the disaster.

The one-month remembrance was supported by the Relief Fund’s media partner NBC Bay Area with reporter George Kiriyama as the emcee. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, Consul General of Japan in San Francisco Hiroshi Inomata and the Office of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi all shared words of deep compassion and comfort. JARF representatives from local churches led an interfaith service which was followed by the sharing of messages of hope and encouragement written on cranes which were sent to communities throughout the Tohoku region In 2012, a community event was also held to observe the one-year anniversary which included an update on the Tohoku region, an interfaith service by members of JARF and performances by community artists.

Through future events, the JCCCNC will remind supporters of the Relief Fund and those in the community that we need to keep in our hearts all those who lost their lives and to continue to send messages of hope and friendship to residents in Tohoku, letting them know that we will never forget.

Pun Pun Dani Book Project C O O R D I N AT E D B Y T H E S H A N T I V O L U N T E E R A S S O C I AT I O N

The Pun Pun Dani Book Project was created to support emotional healing of young children in Kesennuma through art and creative expression and to help lift the spirits of others throughout Tohoku by sharing their drawings and stories.

Pun Pun Dani is an inspirational tale about Rai-Rai, a young boy who grew up in Pun Pun Valley which was suddenly destroyed, leaving him feeling lost and hopeless. Rai-Rai walked and walked throughout the broken valley looking for answers and on his journey he met an oji-san (older man) who was smiling down upon him from the mountain top.

In the winter of 2011, the Shanti Volunteer Association (SVA) created workshops that allowed first through sixth grade students at Otani Elementary School to freely express their feelings through art therapy. For many, this was the first time they were able to convey their sadness, fear and uncertainty for the future. As the workshops continued volunteers encouraged the children to look to the future (ten years from now) and begin creating drawings of their vision and answering questions like, “who are your friends?” “what do you like to do?” and “what are your dreams?”Through these drawings the story was conceptualized and the book was created, published and distributed to over 300 elementary schools and libraries in Kesennuma and throughout Miyagi, Fukushima and Iwate Prefectures.

Staff from the SVA continue to visit libraries and community centers to share Pun Pun Dani through kamishibai, storytelling through pictures.

Oji-san invited Rai-Rai to his world, Nikori–a land of beautiful,

This project was also supported by volunteers from the University of Tsurumi.

plush forest with many animals and where everyone was happy.

Oji-san told Rai-Rai a story of how Nikori once lost everything 100 years ago and how they brought happiness and life back to their world. Rai-Rai was amazed at the transformation and when asked if he wanted to stay and live in Nikori, although extremely tempted, Rai-Rai wanted to return home to share the story and to bring back a tree from Nikori to plant in hopes that it would bring happiness back to Pun Pun Valley.

Youth for the Future On February 24, 2012, a group of students from Sendai arrived for a 10-day trip in the Bay Area for a week of learning as participants of the Youth for the Future program. These students and many others, who either lost their family members or homes in the March 11 disaster and were on the verge of dropping out of school for financial reasons, received scholarships from the Relief Fund to continue their college education amid hardships.

”It was amazing to know how many people were thinking about us in Japan after March 11. This program has given me hope and the strength to succeed in hotel management. It is my goal to help support my family and find ways to help revive the Tohoku region.

I can never thank you enough for your help!”

— H. Kurosawa

It was the first time out of Japan for all of the students who were enrolled in the hospitality or restaurant management programs at the Sendai YMCA International Hotel School. While in San Francisco, the Youth for the Future students and Principal Yuichi Kato toured Japantown; visited an English as a Second Language class; volunteered at Project Open Hand, the Nihonmachi Little Friends After School Program, Rosa Parks Elementary School, Kokoro Assisted Living Residence and Kimochi nutrition program; received a behind the scenes tour of the Westin St. Francis; were able to spend a day in classes at the City College of San Francisco Culinary and Restaurant Management School; and lived with local Japanese American host families.

At a reception held at the JCCCNC, the students were introduced, spoke about their experience on March 11, 2011, and expressed their gratitude for being able to stay in school. As a thank you to their host families and other guests, the students brought special ingredients from Sendai including Sendai miso and prepared a special dinner featuring specialties from the Sendai area.

As the participants departed for Sendai they shared emotional goodbyes with their new families but also left gaining much more than new strategies and experience in their field —they all left with hope and encouragement from the hundreds of new friends they made. This gave them the confidence they needed to complete their education and continue to rebuild their lives, creating a brighter outlook for their future.

Rebuilding Kesennuma: GAMBAARE After the earthquake and tsunami devastated the coastal fishing town of Kesennuma, residents began to explore ways to revive and support the town and people whose lives were so tied to the sea. GAMBAARE is one of those success stories–it is a small gallery shop along Route 45 in Kesennuma.

GAMBAARE sells a wide array of tote bags, aprons, tissue box covers and pouches made using thick and sturdy canvas that used to make sails on fishing vessels. The shop owner operated a small food processing plant but in June 2011 started this new business by gathering garment factory workers who lost their workplace from the tsunami. The motifs featured on the indigo canvas include Kesennuma’s symbols such as rhododendrons, pine tree, black-tailed bird, skip-jack tuna and also has the names of the districts that were hit hard by the tsunami. By writing the location names on the bag the hope is that those places won’t be forgotten over time.

Rebuilding Kesennuma: GAMBAARE is not funded by or a project of the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund. We have shared this success story with you to portray other ways residents are proactively exploring opportunities outside of government and nongovernmental support to rebuild a positive and sustainable future for their town.

The JCCCNC has brought and will continue to bring participants of its programs and tours to the GAMBAARE store to help support the people in the town of Kesennuma.

FUNDED PROJECTS

REBUILDING THE HUMAN SPIRIT As the second anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake approached in March 2013, heartbreaking stories appeared in the news about residents who remained displaced, the ongoing radiation issues at the Fukushima power plant and the economic impact the disaster has had on cities and towns in the Tohoku region of Japan. But little was said about the emerging needs and concerns of the survivors including the uncertainty, isolation and mental health issues that were arising amidst the remains of the physical destruction.

The series of tragic events in 2011 affected the mental health of many of the survivors.

The turmoil that is taking place within them could be just as destructive as what they’ve already lived through; therefore, immediate and long-term mental health and community and social development support was a high priority for the Relief Fund in its final phase of fund disbursement.

In the final Rebuilding Phase, the Relief Fund committed its efforts on Rebuilding the Human Spirit, this at a time when most international aid organizations and corporate donations had severely lessened. Grants totaling $1.1 million were awarded to seven projects aimed at restoring community infrastructure by supporting longer-term or sustainable projects that provided social, economic, educational and wellness programs designed to rebuild the spirit of the residents in Tohoku. These much needed programs were developed to bring improved happiness and a sense of well-being to residents, removing any doubts they may have about their future.

Building Healthy + Sustainable Communities S H A N T I V O L U N T E E R A S S O C I AT I O N W

H

The Shanti Volunteer Association (SVA) committed itself early on to remain in Miyagi Prefecture, and more specifically, Kesennuma where they established an office so residents would know that they had the intention to remain and be a part of the community to assist them with their recovery.

By working directly with the residents SVA created the Building Healthy and Sustainable Communities program to address several pressing needs. One of these programs was to create an association called “Tsumugi no Kai” which works with parents who lost their children during the March 2011 disaster.

The parents often withdrew themselves from the community and never came out of their residences. Thus, they created social and individual activities to encourage their participation.

Because many of the residents can no longer go back to their traditional and familial line of work with the sea, many of the residents, primarily men, found themselves lost, confused and frustrated. It is difficult to leave a trade that your family has carried on for centuries. Knowing this SVA initiated discussions to find alternative ways to have some affiliation with the sea and thus began a project where fishermen work together to cultivate and sell seaweed.

Other smaller projects included women making handmade gifts such as acrylic scrub brushes; working with children to help them overcome their fear of the ocean and preparing them for future disasters; developing existing play areas for children, which will allow them to physically express themselves and learn to work/play in group settings; creating workshops for elderly women, unemployed men and younger couples who have lost their jobs and need support in trying to identify with rebuilding a “new” Kesennuma; and working to empower young members to get involved in the rebuilding of their community.

SVA understands that it is important to have a direct, physical presence in the area and work alongside residents but they should not force or implement programs that are not welcomed by the residents. Because they have gained mutual respect and trust from the residents, they will use their position in the community to have their staff provide continued services, but also develop and encourage more resident participation in working with the local government to obtain services and programs based on their emerging needs.

Clearing the Way for a Brighter Future JAPAN EMERGENCY NGO

Japan Emergency NGO (JEN) has focused its primary recovery and rebuilding effort into restoring a self-supporting livelihood, both economically and mentally, to the survivors of Ishinomaki City and to support the reconstruction of the local communities. Right after the disaster to the end of December 2012, a total of 8,300+ volunteers have participated in recovering towns and cities including cleaning off houses damaged by sludge and debris, dredging up mud from ditches and transporting supplies to temporary housing through JEN’s volunteer dispatch program.

G O

Their work has shifted from emergency-relief, which required more strenuous work like removing debris and cleaning up ditches, to reconstruction assistance which includes projects like revitalizing the local fishery industry; making shrines, children’s parks and play areas accessible; and supporting F O R W A R D the daily lives of people living in temporary housing.

JEN’s Rebuilding Community project will help address psychological issues that many of the survivors are facing such as depression, anxiety and isolation by providing residents in temporary housing the opportunity to meet with psychotherapist and develop therapy programs to support their needs. New programs include physical and massage therapy; “lunch therapy” sessions where residents come together, cook and enjoy meals and conversation; and play therapy. Their main goals are to reduce isolation and help residents regain a sense of community which will help reduce depression and allow them to smile again.

Helping Those Helping Others N AT I O N A L C O U N C I L O F Y M C A S O F J A PA N

The National Council of YMCAs of Japan (National YMCA) has been very active with relief, recovery and rebuilding efforts in northern Japan since the March 11 disaster. One of their first tasks was to mobilize staff and volunteers from various YMCAs from around Japan, as far as Kyushu, to their Sendai YMCA office for emergency supply distribution.

The National YMCA is currently in their third phase of recovery which is to support the rebuilding of communities, but many of their staff and volunteers working in the disaster areas are also suffering from the same mental and emotional traumas as those that they are trying to help. From training received in San Francisco as participants of the Towards Recovery and Healing Program, hosted by the Relief Fund, the National YMCA felt it was necessary to create their own Program for Relief Care.

The Program for Relief Care will help relieve the anxiety and stress of volunteers and staff working directly with those who have been affected by the disaster, giving them time to heal and rejuvenate themselves. It will also allow participants to learn and understand how to promote better practices to effectively help the people they are working with and start to build an active and collaborative relationship with others doing the same work.

The National YMCA also understands that removing people from their stressful environments and allowing them to relax in a natural environment can reduce the stress faced on a daily basis. So, the Program for Relief Care will allow direct relief staff and volunteers to spend time at their Tozanso Camp located near Mount Fuji. Staff and volunteers will learn how to reduce stress and receive care and guidance from trauma care experts from throughout Japan so they can become better advocates for the people they wish to help.

Coordinating this program through March of 2015, the National YMCA hopes individuals will become stronger and better able to exchange their thoughts and feelings with other staff and volunteers, creating a more harmonious network of support staff working towards the same goal.

Nurture Through Nature SENDAI YMCA

Over the past two years, the Sendai YMCA has been supporting temporary housing facilities in the smaller towns of Miyagi Prefecture to work directly with the children residing there. Hundreds of children have benefitted from donated sports equipment at these facilities. This was especially important during the early months following the disaster as many children were confined to small spaces on gymnasium floors, but the Sendai YMCA staff created dedicated spaces for their play activity.

Although many of the children have adjusted to their new living environment their ability to play with their friends, enjoy the outdoors or participate in organized sports has been limited since many of the temporary housing complexes are located on vacant land that was previously used by the youth to play. The Sendai YMCA has also recognized that these children are also experiencing a lot of stress and frustration mostly from the uncertainty of their future, seeing their family worried and vulnerable and also from the loss of friends or relatives.

The Nurture Through Nature program will provide temporary relief by taking youth to outdoor camp locations in Japan where they will learn the outdoor survival basics —creating fire, cooking on fire and learning about and creating things from nature; how to protect natural environments from human destruction and devastation; as well as how to appreciate life as a young child.

L A U G H

The children will have the opportunity to participate in physical activity and group games, something they have not been able to do since the March 2011 disaster. Many of these children come from households that do not have the economical means to take a vacation and, therefore, this will be their only opportunity to relax and have fun.

The Sendai YMCA realizes that providing for the mental, physical and social well-being of a child is very important. And through a child’s participation in the Nurture Through Nature program they will return to their everyday life rejuvenated with a healthier and happier outlook on life and are once again able to be a child who continues to dream.

Promotion of Evacuees’ Psychological Well-Being in Fukushima Prefecture Project A S S O C I AT I O N F O R A I D A N D R E L I E F, J A PA N H A P P I N E S S

The Association for Aid and Relief, Japan (AARJ) worked immediately following March 11, 2011, to address the survival needs of the evacuees in Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate Prefectures.

Over the past two years, the AARJ has also identified serious prolonged challenges for the evacuees living in temporary housing. Many of the residents do not have family members that they can talk to, tend to be isolated and are not provided opportunities to talk or go on outings.

The majority are also without a stable source of income and savings thus, faced with anxieties of how to construct their lives after the closure of the temporary facilities.

The AARJ’s Promotion of Evacuees’ Psychological Well-Being Project (Well-Being Project) was created to help residents regain peace of mind and give them enough support to cope with their uncertain future. The project will also prepare survivors for their new life after the temporary housing closures, which is scheduled to happen sometime in 2015.

After the disaster in 2011, social ties and bonds with the local communities deteriorated. As a result, AARJ has seen that it has been difficult for evacuees, especially the elderly who have lost family and friends, to create relationships with their new neighbors in temporary housing. They hope to address some of the serious problems that are arising such as “hikikomori” (social withdrawal), alcoholism, gambling, addiction and suicides.

The Well-Being Project will provide “Active Listening” sessions with residents where they can talk with trained staff members about their personal concerns and, if necessary, will be provided counseling sessions. They have also scheduled day bus trips to areas where residents can relax and enjoy time away from their day to day troubles. To help decrease the numbers of suicides in the complexes they have begun to coordinate local patrols where there are high incidents of suicide and attempted suicide.

The project will continue into 2015 to provide peace of mind and empower the residents as they prepare for the scheduled shut down of temporary housing complexes in the next year and a half.

Protecting Our Children Program SENDAI YMCA

The Sendai YMCA Volunteer Center was in operation by March 22, 2011, and focused their early efforts on sustaining relief shelters and childcare facilities in the Sendai and Matsushima areas.

As a result of the Sendai YMCA working so closely with children and childcare facilities in local communities they wanted to find a way to support their future so they created the Protecting Our Children–Preparedness Training Program (Protecting Our Children Program).

Over 200 elementary school children in Miyagi Prefecture lost their lives because of the March 11 disaster. Although many of these children were in school at the time they had no idea how to protect themselves when the disaster hit.

The Sendai YMCA wants to serve as the instructors and administrators of this much needed Protecting Our Children Program to encourage young people to learn about emergency preparedness. They understand that this will probably not be the last natural disaster in their lifetime but, with proper training and practice drills, these students will grow up as trained citizens that can help other community members create a safe environment in the face of an emergency.

This project will not only review and explain the significance of emergency preparedness but will also include recognizing the social, emotional and mental health issues that accompany a disaster.

Since the Sendai YMCA has been conducting preschool, afterschool and summer/sports programs for the past 100 years they have a strong foundation working with children aged two to 20. They will not only focus their efforts in Sendai City but expand to communities that they worked with after the 2011 disaster.

In addition to training children they will also allow parents, teachers and school administrators to observe so they can also be better prepared for the next disaster. This training will focus on all aspects of what happens in an emergency situation. Young children may not understand technical terms like PTSD or trauma but they do recognize when their parents or teachers act differently or can no longer take care of their families. The Sendai YMCA believes that youth being aware of situations like this are just as important as knowing how to be physically prepared.

The goal of the Protecting Our Children Program is to create a generation of young people who will be prepared to face another disaster in their community and to use this knowledge to save themselves, their family and the community around them.

Tozanso Family Wellness Camps N AT I O N A L C O U N C I L O F Y M C A S O F J A PA N

Immediately following the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami the National Council of YMCAs of Japan (National YMCA) started their relief work by cooperating with the Morioka (Iwate Prefecture) and Sendai (Miyagi Prefecture) YMCAs to support local communities with emergency aid.

The National YMCA determined there was a great need to support the well-being of the residents who were displaced in Fukushima Prefecture where the troubled nuclear plant is located. They found there were cases of anxiety, depression, bullying in schools and mental issues affecting the residents and those who relocated to outlying areas due to fear, uncertainty and sometimes prejudicial judgment by others.

Through the Tozanso Family Wellness Camps (Tozanso Family Camps) the National YMCA has enhanced and expanded their existing program to include residents from Fukushima Prefecture. The National YMCA will continue the Tozanso Family Camps through 2015.

Located at the foot of Mount Fuji, the site promotes an environment where children can relax and escape the daily challenges that they face at school, at home and within society in general. Families can enjoy time together within the natural surroundings and participate in structured programs including sessions learning about grief care and stress management led by experienced counselors.

The goals of the program are to allow children to relieve their anxiety and nurture their hope for their future on their own; release the parents’ stress and give them a more positive outlook; engage the broader community and involve cooperating enterprises, entities and local people, especially young volunteers, to support this program; and to strengthen the immune systems and livelihood of participants by allowing them to reside in a spacious and supportive environment.

From their previous success with similar camp programs, and with the support from staff who have faced previous devastating disaster (Kobe earthquake), the National YMCA believes families who participate in Tozanso Family Camps will leave feeling refreshed, able to better cope with their daily lives and have a brighter outlook for their future.

NBC Bay Area

“ There have been many moments that touched my heart but one of the most dramatic was taking calls during the telethon we held.

Listening to the donors on the phone really brought a tear to my eyes as they apologized for only being able to give $5.00. Some even gave thousands.”

— Allen Okamoto,

NBC Bay Area played an integral role in the promotion and success of the Relief Fund through their unwavering support and ongoing coverage.

NBC Bay Area set the Relief Fund into motion with its first fundraiser on March 18, 2011, when they helped host and televise an all-day telethon to raise money for Japan relief. Hosted by NBC Bay Area with phone lines donated by Comcast, the phone banks opened at 6:30 a.m. and closed at 12:00 midnight. Volunteers from the Japanese American and local communities answered phones to help facilitate phone-in donations.

Bay Area viewers and the local community donated more than $417,000 to the Relief Fund. Phone bank volunteers included some recognizable names from the community such as broadcast journalists James Hattori, Wendy Tokuda and Jan Yanehiro; playwright Philip Kan Gotanda and wife Diane Takei Gotanda; and journalist Ben Fong-Torres.

Also among those who stopped by the JCCCNC to support the fundraising efforts included San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, S.F. Board of Supervisors President David Chiu and Causes Co-Founder Joe Green. Consul General Hiroshi Inomata from the Japanese Consulate thanked the Bay Area for the outpouring of support and donations for survivors of the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

NBC Bay Area continued their support and compassionate coverage through the first anniversary in 2012 by providing the Relief Fund with public service announcement opportunities, making available their on-air talent for larger events and covering many of the Relief Fund collection drives, like the S.F. Giants games, and other events.

Special thanks to Lance Lew, Director of Community Marketing, and the NBC Bay Area team and Andrew Johnson, Vice President of Communications, and Comcast for their commitment, coordination and generosity.

Evernote Japan Two hours after the quake, Evernote CEO Phil Libin emailed Hitoshi Hokamura, Chairman of Evernote Japan, and others at the company and asked them to “think about what we can do for Japan.” Fifteen hours later they met at the Mountain View headquarters of Evernote and an hour later they agreed on what they would do and what organization the proceeds would flow through.

Evernote, which offers a suite of software and services designed for notetaking, did two things immediately to help the citizens of northern Japan.

One, the company donated all of its revenue in the month of March to Japan, and two, the company decided to upgrade all of its estimated five million customers in Japan to the premium Evernote service for free.

Because the premium cost is $5 a month it was estimated that Evernote donated $25 million during the month of March.

In addition, the Relief Fund’s recognizable heart logo showed up in every Evernote PC/Mac client worldwide which Evernote clients could click on and make a donation. The logo received over four million hits.

At the 2011 Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown, Hokamura and Libin met with JCCCNC Executive Director Paul Osaki and presented him with a check for $120,000 from Evernote.

Evernote wanted an organization that could send the money to those who really needed help and didn’t take any overhead cost. Because of the JCCCNC’s past experience with the Kobe earthquake, its ongoing relationships with Japanese organizations and the promise of 100% going to those in need, the Relief Fund was the right choice for them.

“My heart was hurting for the people in Japan and I couldn’t figure out what to do. The JCCCNC helped to steer us all in the right direction and allowed us to feel like we were working together to help. It wasn’t just one group of people—there were hundreds of groups and thousands of individuals that came together for the people of Japan. I don’t think I will ever feel like I did enough for the families in Japan, but I will continue to donate my time and efforts in any way possible.”

Kokua Japan + Minami Tamaki

“I learned three things through this campaign. First, I learned about the tremendous empathy from people around the world, people you don’t even know; second, I learned about the power of social media—how you can really reach a lot of people quickly and get them to commit and dig into their pocketbooks; and thirdly, I learned about the power of an idea and that one person, Lynda, could make a difference — and that the one idea generated nearly half a million dollars.”

LLP

Lynda Won-Chung, Founder and President of Inspirational Opportunities for Youth and Seniors (IOYS) and former Senior Counsel at the San Francisco law firm of Minami Tamaki LLP, was the inspiration behind the story of KokuaJapan.org (“kokua” means “help” in Hawaiian) which raised over $490,000 in donations and matches for the Relief Fund.

Won-Chung thought of the idea of having her foundation, IOYS, sponsor a fund. With matching funds, she figured IOYS could raise $20,000, but with the help of Minami Tamaki LLP they could surpass that goal and maybe double that amount.

Dale Minami, a partner at the law firm, agreed that Minami Tamaki LLP would co-sponsor the fund and they launched the six-week campaign on March 16, 2011, with the goal of raising $30,000 — a goal they reached in only five days. They extended the campaign and when it ended on April 30, they had raised $490,314.36. During the first two weeks of the campaign, some of the staff at Minami Tamaki LLP spent up to 40% of their time on administrative efforts.

Minami Tamaki LLP chose the Relief Fund because of JCCCNC’s past experience with the Kobe earthquake and they trusted that the JCCCNC would not take huge administrative costs as other charities do.

Minami praised the role that the JCCCNC and the Relief Fund played.

“We thank the JCCCNC for its wisdom in using the funds wisely and not squandering them on administrative costs. It’s really inspiring.”

Dalla Valle Vineyards Naoko Dalla Valle, proprietor of Dalla Valle Vineyards, along with Napa Valley Chef Hiro Sone and Chef Lissa Doumani of Terra and Ame Restaurants, respectively; Chef Richard Reddington of REDD; Chef Ken Tominaga of Go Fish and Hana; and Chef Christopher Kostow of The Restaurant at Meadowood helped to put on the Napa Valley to Tohoku Dinner and Auction on May 11 at the exclusive Napa Valley Reserve.

The event, which was attended by about 120 friends from the Napa Valley (California) wine industry, featured a gourmet dinner, exclusive wines and an auction and raised over $500,000. Wines from this evening were donated by Dalla Valle Vineyards, BOND, Harlan Estate and the Napa Valley Reserve.

At that event, Naoko dedicated the proceeds of Fund-A-Need to three projects in Miyagi Prefecture, including a new mental health program for children.

In December 2011, Naoko along with the Oakville winery also offered its magnums to its mailing list customers for $1,500 each, raising cash donations for three charities including the Relief Fund.

“Many Japanese people and I would like to say ‘thank you’ to your heartwarming support.”

“One of my most fond memories...is the NJERFsupported visit of Azuma-san and Kaz, of the Shanti Volunteer Association when they visited in March, 2012. I took them to elementary schools in Berkeley and Palo Alto and they did a presentation about the devastation of the earthquake/ tsunami– showing a film and then asking the kids to draw pictures about what they experienced. The kids were very introspective and resilient and produced incredible work.

This was to encourage folks to continue the effort to rebuild the spirit of those affected by the earthquake/tsunami.”

Causes.com In the crucial 24 to 36 hours after the devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on March 11, Matt Mahan, then-President and CEO at Causes.com, noticed something truly amazing—and truly positive—about the impact of social media.

“We noticed that a bunch of donations were going to an organization that we had never heard of (the JCCCNC),” said Mahan. He added that the JCCCNC had a “very high cause-member-to-donor ratio” with 2,000 members all giving something compared to the Red Cross, which had raised a similar amount of money but from a larger group. “This (cause) struck a chord with the community.”

More than $1 million has been raised to date by Causes for Japan relief efforts —and more than $400,000 of that has gone to the Relief Fund.

Mahan credited the team effort of his Impact Staff and said his staff worked with the JCCCNC on donations on an hourly and daily basis after the quake and tsunami hit.

Causes Co-Founder Joe Green also helped recruit Salesforce.com to donate a $25,000 matching fund that went live on the Relief Fund’s Causes.com page and was announced during the telethon on March 18, 2011.

The San Francisco Giants and the Giants Community Fund have been outstanding supporters of the Relief Fund, donating a combined $12,500 and helping to raise an additional $8,925.81 during the March 28, 2011, exhibition game versus the Oakland A’s when they allowed over 100 Relief Fund volunteers to solicit donations before the game outside of AT&T Park and up and down the stadium aisles during the game.

The Giants also dedicated the 2011 season’s Japanese Heritage Night on June 3 to the memories of those lost and to the support of those working to rebuild. Proceeds from each special event ticket were also donated to the Relief Fund. Kristi Yamaguchi and Paul Osaki made an on-field appearance to talk about the fund and rally the fans to donate.

and raise awareness for the many ways they can assist the people of Japan.”

Kristi Yamaguchi Named Relief Fund Spokesperson Kristi Yamaguchi, the iconic 1992 Olympic gold medalist in figure skating, has a long history with the JCCCNC. In 1994, Kristi traveled to Japan for the first time on a Goodwill Tour sponsored by the JCCCNC, helping to improve relations between the United States and Japan at a time of rising tensions. She was also one of the first to offer help and support in JCCCNC’s relief efforts following the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake of 1995.

Yamaguchi contacted the JCCCNC immediately after March 11 about how she could help. “Like so many others, I was horrified by the earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan,” Yamaguchi said. “It was heartbreaking to see the scenes of destruction.” Soon after, Paul Osaki named Yamaguchi the spokesperson for the Relief Fund, which she found great honor in doing.

Yamaguchi made her debut as the Relief Fund spokesperson at the San Francisco Giants Japanese Heritage Night on June 3, 2011. In the pregame ceremony, Yamaguchi spoke about the Relief Fund, unveiled the new fund website, www.kokoro4Japan.org and appeared with Osaki as well as with two elementary school youth from San Francisco who helped raise funds and awareness for the Relief Fund.

Along with her support as the Relief Fund spokesperson, Yamaguchi contributed $50,000 to the Relief Fund and various NJERF projects through her Always Dream Foundation and led delegates from northern California and Hawaii to northern Japan as part of Project Aloha.

Yahoo! Employee Foundation The Yahoo! Employee Foundation (YEF), which is fully funded by Yahoo! employees, issued an emergency grant of $50,000 to the Relief Fund to address immediate needs after Japan was hit by the catastrophic earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster on March 11.

According to Erin Baudo Felter, then-Manager of the YEF, Yahoo! employees immediately started asking how they could help so the YEF board quickly began researching different organizations they could support to aid in the relief efforts. YEF found out about the Relief Fund through a YEF board member.

“What appealed to YEF about the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund was that it involved a staged response with both immediate relief efforts and also longer-term rebuilding efforts,” Felter said. “We also thought it was important that the fund was supporting organizations that were already working in the area, rather than duplicating services.”

“The most powerful moments for me happened in Japan where I was able to accompany the Project Aloha delegation to Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi Prefectures to see firsthand the impact of the disaster on the people there, but also how the support and donations from people in the U.S. could help improve the quality of life for people we met. The impact of the devastation really hit me as we walked through the debris in Kesennuma where I spotted what remained of people’s lives: a family photo album half covered in mud, a little zori, a toy truck, fragments of broken dishes—all parts of lives that were gone or would never be the same again.

Those reminders made me proud that I was part of the NJERF effort and that, in some small way, we were helping the people of the Tohoku region.”

In addition to the show, students were encouraged to participate in a coin collection drive.

The show included a taiko performance by GenRyu Arts; Shamisen (Japanese lute) performance; singing performance by Fujimoto Hideki Kai Minyo School; choral performances by Chorale May, Ensemble Shiki and San Francisco Forest Choir; and singing by Clarendon students.

The hefty check was signed by all the students and was presented to the JCCCNC by six Clarendon students during the live NBC telethon on March 18. One of the six students presenting the check included the daughter of Evernote Japan’s Chairman, Hitoshi Hokamura.

“For the people of Japan — my heart, blessings and love go out to you in these unfortunate times.

I am donating what I can in hopes that it will help all in need. My thoughts and prayers are with you.”

— K.M. Wiest, San Francisco, CA

Berkeley Bowl Berkeley Bowl, a 35 year old independently owned supermarket in Berkeley, CA, fundraised for Japan by asking for donations from their many customers. For a one-month period right after the disaster, customers were able to donate at registers. Between their two locations on Heinz Avenue and Oregon Street, Berkeley Bowl raised an astonishing $38,181.

Berkeley Bowl also allowed organizations like Tatsumaki Taiko to use their venue for benefit performances that raised an additional $5,250 for the Relief Fund and a small group of students played jazz in their courtyard raising a few hundred dollars.

Berkeley Mills Berkeley Mills, a high-end Japanese inspired custom furniture store in Berkeley, hosted a memorable event on June 20, 2011, that raised over $22,000 in donations for the Relief Fund.

Owner Gene Agress has a deep passion and deep love for Japan that is visible in the beautiful handcrafted pieces in his showroom, and once he saw the devastating images on television he needed to do something to help.

The event, which took place right in their beautiful Berkeley showroom, featured keynote speaker Consul General Hiroshi Inomata, food by Ozumo Oakland which was prepared in their custom showroom kitchen, and an opportunity to win a doublesided solid Jarrah wood tansu valued at $32,000.

Gene Agress was also a guest speaker at the JCCCNC year-end volunteer/Relief Fund “thank you” party alongside Causes.com President and CEO, Matt Mahan.

Japan provided the largest overseas contribution—with donations of approximately $250,000 — to San Francisco following the Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.

QUICK FACT

Grateful Crane Ensemble In less than a month after celebrating their 10th Anniversary, southern California’s Grateful Crane Ensemble organized “A Benefit Show for Japan Relief,” on May 14, 2011, which featured their most popular songs over the past decade.

The event, held at Orange County Buddhist Church in Anaheim, featured the “Best of Grateful Crane” and singers Jason Fong, Haruye Ioka, Keiko Kawashima, Darrell Kunitomi, Kurt Kuniyoshi, Aimee Machida, Merv Maruyama, Mary Kageyama Nomura, Helen H. Ota, Fusako Shiotani and Grateful Crane youth singers.

“It’s important that we, as a Japanese American community, support the people of Japan during this time of need. Being from San Francisco, I know the people at the JCCCNC, appreciate the fact that they have a track record of running an earthquake relief fund in 1995 and trust that its donations are once again reaching people in need now.”

The wishful moment after we helped Kenta blow out his first candle.

My wife, Eri, and I started organizing our son’s first birthday party in February of 2011. But as we first learned about the earthquake and tsunami in Eri’s native Japan we nearly decided to cancel the party. How could we celebrate when so many in Tohoku were suffering— children and adults of all ages?

Kenta’s First Birthday

Then a thought came to us—to ask our friends and family to donate whatever they could to help the people of northern Japan instead of bringing a gift. By doing this we could also teach a life lesson to Kenta—the importance of repairing the world through giving.

With the cooperation of the JCCCNC this plan began our journey to transform our feelings of helplessness into hope.

All told we raised over $3,300 for the Relief Fund—thanks to the generous donations of those who knew about our effort or came to Kenta’s first birthday as well as a matching donation from the Yahoo! Employee Foundation.

To everyone at the JCCCNC, thank you so much for your hard work and providing a vehicle for giving hope to those in need!

Stephen, Eri and Kenta

Japantown Merchants Association The Japantown Merchants Association (JMA), founded in 1965, is comprised of different businesses and organizations located within Japantown. The JMA organized fundraising efforts throughout San Francisco’s Japantown by designing and ordering special Relief Fund collection cans that were used for a merchants’ collection drive and at various Relief Fund fundraising events including the annual Cherry Blossom Festival in 2011. They also provided support for the one-month and one-year anniversary Our Hearts to Japan interfaith programs.

Cherry Blossom Festival In its 44th year the 2011 Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival, held in San Francisco’s Japantown on April 9-10 and 16-17, was almost cancelled due to the devastating events just one month earlier. But Richard Hashimoto, the festival Co-Chairperson, felt that it would be a great way to bring awareness to the needs in Japan and to raise funds. Special Relief Fund collection cans purchased by the Japantown Merchants Association were placed at each vendor’s booth and visitors were urged by volunteers walking throughout the festival grounds to make a donation.

New People–“Hula Girls” New People Cinema in San Francisco held special screenings of the award winning film “Hula Girls,” which is based on real life events initiating the creation of the Joban Hawaiian Center, now the Spa Resort Hawaiians, in Iwaki City which is located 30 miles south of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Ozumo Jeremy Umland, Founder and Managing Partner at Ozumo Restaurant Ventures, has strong ties to Japan—he was an exchange student at Gakuin University, played professional baseball with the Seibu Lions and worked as an investment banker in Tokyo. To help support the relief efforts to the country that he called home for 15 years, Umland offered a specialty cocktail Kibou No Hana (“flower of hope”) throughout the month of March with proceeds donated to Japan relief and hosted a happy hour to benefit the Relief Fund at his Ozumo San Francisco restaurant.

The happy hour, organized by Nick Macilveen and Mia Takami of the popular San Francisco “Nicks Happy Hour and Party Group,” was held on April 5, 2011. On this evening, over 200 guests joined the cause related happy hour making donations at the door and enjoying drinks at the bar with a portion of bar sales being donated to the Relief Fund. The happy hour raised over $5,000 with more than $4,500 coming from donations.

True Sake True Sake, the first dedicated sake store outside of Japan and the first of its kind in America, is located on Hayes Street in San Francisco. Each year True Sake organizes Sake Day to celebrate the “day of sake” (October 1) in Japan. For 2011, True Sake dedicated the event to Japan which was themed “A Toast to Recovery.” Guests had the opportunity to try select sake from the Tohoku Prefecture, taste special comfort food of the region prepared by Yoshi’s Chef Sho Kamio and bid on one-of-a-kind and specialty sake products and goods. Proceeds from the 2011 Sake Day, which totaled close to $12,000, were donated to the Relief Fund.

True Sake also supported the fund by asking thousands of True Sake fans to make a donation to the Relief Fund. The Relief Fund logo appeared on their website and in their e-newsletter.

“Miwa, myself and all of Team True Sake are still in awe at how fast, but more importantly how effective, the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund campaign began right from the get go. We saw so many efforts from across the world take shape but none matched your extremely effective attack at such a dire time in this world’s history.”

Rainbow World Fund Immediately following the devastation in Japan the Rainbow World Fund (RWF) organized the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Japan Earthquake Fund, partnered with the Japanese American community and launched a series of fundraising events that would direct its monies through the Relief Fund.

The first phase of their fundraising drive began with an online donation campaign. The second phase involved what they designated as a “Week of Omoiyari (Compassion)” that took place from April 9-14, 2011. The RWF also reached out to other LGBT groups across the country to get them involved by organizing their own local events or making a donation to the LGBT Japan Earthquake Fund.

“ I thoroughly enjoyed working on the various

slideshows I had to put together for the NJERF. Looking at the photos and videos made the experience more memorable and alive.

Denver Taiko In little more than a week, Denver’s Japanese Arts Community organized a benefit concert, “Heartbeat for Japan: A Taiko Benefit,” that played to a full house on March 26, 2011, at the Colorado Heights University Theater.

It was a night of powerful and exquisite culture sharing by three area groups —Denver Taiko, Mirai Taiko and Taiko with Toni — that helped honor friends and family in Japan.

“Heartbeat for Japan” brought approximately 900 community members together to support world healing and peace. There were no tickets sold for this “Give What You Can” event that collected over $22,000 in donations.

“Along with the world, I have watched with sadness the travesty that the Japanese people are now experiencing. Many years ago I taught with a fellow Japanese American teacher who had spent his early youth in an internment camp in the Central Valley. He had a profound love for the United States and his Japanese culture. He taught me much, of the true meaning of tolerance, of forgiveness. My friend has since passed and in his memory I send this offering.”

Lessons That We Learned The events of March 11, 2011, and how the survivors handled the aftermath of the devastation taught us many lessons at the JCCCNC. It reminded us how important our mission is to not only preserve and promote the cultural arts and traditions of Japan, but also the importance of teaching and sharing the cultural virtues and values of our Japanese ancestors including the Issei (first generation) at the JCCCNC. It also served as a meaningful reminder of how vital our mission is to promote friendship and grassroots relationships with Japan and how international relief programs can turn into sustainable goodwill exchange programs. The true test of a friendship is not just celebrating the best times but also being there for each other during the worst of times.

On the morning of March 11, 2011, the staff of ten at the Japanese Cultural

“As I sat before my TV watching the horror of the tsunami, I immediately thought of the relief efforts done by the JCCCNC after the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake. I knew that we had to do something to help the people of Japan and I was so pleased that the JCCCNC again took the lead to initiate the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund. NJERF was a way to directly help the victims in Japan”.

— Allen Okamoto, JCCCNC Board Member

and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC) gathered in the office knowing that, as the JCCCNC and members of the Japanese American community, they had a responsibility and an obligation to actively support the relief efforts in northern Japan just as they did back in 1995 for the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake. Together they laid out a plan to start a relief campaign and divided up the various tasks: setting up a bank account, assessing volunteer needs, contacting the media, creating a PR plan, determining administrative needs, establishing donation procedures, etc. Immediately following the meeting they went to work— no one questioned what needed to be done, expressed any doubt or hesitation about the extra work— they all saw the horrific images on the news that morning and knew that they needed to do something to help. Within hours, the JCCCNC went from being a local community non-profit to an international relief organization. By the end of the day, the ground work was laid for what would become one of the largest relief funds in the nation —the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund (NJERF or Relief Fund).

The following day, one after another, people came to the JCCCNC to make donations and countless phone calls and emails were received from individuals, organizations and businesses who wanted to volunteer and help raise funds. Board members came in to assist staff, but still they quickly became overwhelmed by the tremendous outpouring of support and response to the relief campaign from all over the world.

From the start the staff worked tirelessly, some of them 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week for the first couple of months. Eventually, volunteers were scheduled daily and temporary staff was hired to assist with the management of administering a relief fund of this scale. Together they processed, verified and acknowledged thousands of donations; answered numerous emails, phone calls and media requests; greeted people as they delivered donations; set up a calendar of events and coordinated local fundraisers with organizations and businesses; created and managed the NJERF website; provided updates on the situation in Japan; coordinated with partner organizations in Japan; appeared at community events to provide updates; coordinated volunteers; printed leaflets; and conducted mailings as part of their daily tasks. The staff accomplished all of this while still fulfilling their normal job duties, but managing and sustaining the relief campaign would have been impossible without the dozens of volunteers that came to the NJERF office every day.

“Although it was a lot of work, having been a part of the NJERF was a truly rewarding experience for me. Never could I have imagined the tremendous outpouring of support from people of all ages, all walks of life–doing what they could in support of the people across the ocean who lost family, friends, homes, jobs and most of what they knew as their life.

We worked like crazy to promote events and keep people up to date, but it was all worth it. In March of 2013, I was able to visit Kesennuma. To say my heart was broken is an understatement, all I kept feeling as tears streamed down my face was ‘I didn’t do enough, I should have worked harder,’ but as we were getting closer to a temporary housing facility that we were going to visit, I knew I had to wipe the tears and smile. It was the most amazing thing–our visit. We were only there for two short hours, but I think it was a healing experience for all of us. We were able to share our friendship and hope for a brighter future. For me, I left knowing that the support NJERF gave was reaching the right organizations and people.”

— LORI MATOBA ,

J C C C N C S TA F F

There were also some key individuals who without their commitment and sacrifice the success of this Relief Fund would not have been possible— Lori Matoba for overseeing the administration, Jeff Yoshioka for handling the media and PR, Diane Matsuda for her work as the Japan coordinator, Dianne Fukami as the Board President and Yunice Kotake and Kristen Koue for managing the NJERF office.

But the ultimate success of the Relief Fund was because the people who are listed in this booklet opened their hearts to Japan— all of the volunteers, fundraising organizers, corporate supporters, small businesses, and most of all, the thousands of donors.

Our hope is that one by one we can all make a difference, helping us all realize we are truly citizens of the world.

Everyone’s lives were changed forever by the events of March 11, 2011, and hopefully the memories of the horrific devastation and the sense of loss that was felt will diminish in time. As we continue to look back it will be the images of the survivors we will remember the most for the fortitude and dignity they displayed which gave us hope and resolve when we needed it most.

In reality the NJERF campaign helped the survivors, but it also provided all of us the opportunity to open our hearts and be a part of the international community’s outpouring of care and humanity to help the people of Japan.

The JCCCNC is committed to ensure that the NJERF story is not over, and many of the projects funded by Relief Fund donations are continuing.

Many of them are helping the survivors’ better cope with their lives, some are supporting community rebuilding and sustainability for the next generation’s benefit and others will help better prepare them for any future disaster. All of this is possible thanks to every one of you.

In 1995, the JCCCNC raised over $600,000 for the Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake that killed over 6,000 people and left over 300,000 people homeless. The donations received helped to organize efforts to get food and water directly to the victims, assisted citizens search efforts, mobilized volunteers, provided clothing for those who lost their homes, provided essential supplies for children and seniors, provided mental health services; and fed and rebuilt orphanages in Kobe. The JCCCNC has continued to bring youth from the San Francisco Bay Area to volunteer and donate to the orphanage every year since 1995.

“Working for NJERF was one of the most challenging, but most rewarding, pursuits I’ve ever tackled. What began as a small JCCCNC-driven initiative grew into something much greater than anyone expected and I will forever feel honored to have been part of it. The outpouring of support, in overwhelming magnitudes, was undeniably arduous, but to see a community come together from all over the country, all walks of life, from the young to the old, was colossal. NJERF could not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the staff, the board members and volunteers. Thank you, JCCCNC!” — Y U N I C E KO TA K E ,

Endorsers of the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund “I believe that JCCCNC is fulfilling an important part of its mission through its participation in NJERF. Getting involved not only helps those who desperately need it, but it builds bridges between Japan and the United States. This bridge building is important to both countries and the JCCCNC is uniquely positioned to do this in a very unique way.”

“Compassion, Humanity and Pride.

Those are words that come to mind when I think about NJERF. The overwhelming tide of compassion of people. It was so heartwarming to experience the joy of people giving. Children, professional associations, schools, companies, chefs, college student clubs, restaurants, families–all giving of themselves to help earthquake relief. We made a significant contribution to the lives of the people in Japan and it made me feel proud of all that the JCCCNC accomplished. We did it!”

Alpers Sidewalk Sale Every penny donated to the Relief Fund went to help support the victims in Japan.

The same care and love for Japan is echoed in our donors. The Alpers sisters’ sidewalk sale was the epitome of the adage “every penny counts,” as they were in front of their home on March 12 raising whatever they could to support those in Japan

Taru Mikoshi For the past 45 years the San Francisco Taru Mikoshi group has been closing the Cherry Blossom Festival’s annual Grand Parade with their boisterous “wasshoi, wasshoi.” After learning about the March 11 disaster in their homeland, many of the core organizers had heavy hearts and wanted to do something to support those in need. Their support came in the form of an $11,000 donation to the Relief Fund from the proceeds of their festival food booth and donations collected during the 2011 festival.

Dosa Emily Mitra, owner of Dosa on Fillmore and Dosa on Valencia, wants to be known for more than her acclaimed South Indian cuisine, she wishes that her restaurants will also be known for their integrity, which explains why she pushed to hold a month of fundraisers called “Tuesdays for Tokyo” that raised over $5,000.* The Dosa staff wore the NJERF pins and their regulars went out of their way to dine on those Tuesdays.

“Customers have a social interest,” said Mitra, “and if the dining experience goes to a good cause like the NJERF, they feel good about it.” *The $5,000 was funneled through the Kokua Japan matching fund drive to increase the total to $10,000.

Nihonmachi Little Friends Nihonmachi Little Friends, in San Francisco, has been one of the children’s organizations that have supported the Relief Fund from day one. The Afterschool Program held a garage sale a couple of weeks after March 11. Throughout the year they also learned about relief and recovery efforts in Japan, and for their 2012 annual Dowa no Matsuri Fundraising Program, their focus was on the events of March 11.

Shea’s Toy Sale The images of the devastation in Japan also impacted children across the country. Many students participated in fundraisers at school but many, like Shea, felt the need to do more. So she gathered some of her toys and collected donations at a stand she put together during the 2011 Cherry Blossom Festival. The following week, she brought her donation to the JCCCNC, showing that even a young person can make a difference.

“We are eager to donate these funds for relief and rebuilding for the victims of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan. Our group grants a portion of our fundraising efforts through our ‘Vision Project’ to nonprofits in the community and the recent catastrophic events have prompted us to give emergency grants to the survivors in Japan. We are hoping it will help.

Thank you for your good work.”

“ I learned through a very good friend about the JCCCNC and the efforts that a couple of her nephews were making to send financial assistance to Japan.

I wish it were more, but that is all my retirement allows right now. Please accept my donation and my sincere wishes and prayers for those in such dire need. I had the pleasure of visiting Japan many years ago, and I will always have beautiful memories of my trip.”

Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund

JCIE Survey: U.S. Giving for Japan’s 3/11 Disaster Exceeds $665 Million 1 8 M O N T H U P D AT E

Japan Center for International Exchange Founded in 1970, the Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE) is an independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan organization dedicated to strengthening Japan’s role in international networks of dialogue and cooperation.

A survey of nearly 1,000 nonprofit organizations, businesses and philanthropic foundations reveals that the first 18 months following the devastation of Japan’s Tohoku region by a massive earthquake and tsunami, Americans have donated at least $665.8 million for relief and recovery efforts. This outpouring of charitable giving represents the largest U.S. philanthropic response ever to an overseas disaster in a developed country.

This response also ranks as the third most generous American charitable response to an overseas disaster after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, both of which struck poorer, developing countries that clearly had great need. It is the fifth largest incidence of U.S. giving for any disaster, at home or abroad. Unlike many other disasters, most of the giving for Japan was in cash, over 98 percent, rather than in-kind goods and services. This is due to the fact that, as a highly developed nation, Japan already had sufficient supplies/goods available domestically and donors quickly recognized that sending unwanted materials would be a hindrance rather than help.

Most of the funds raised for the disaster were eventually sent to Japan through largescale humanitarian relief organizations—groups like the Red Cross, Save the Children and World Vision—but the diversity of organizations acting as intermediaries to channel funds to recipients on the ground has been extraordinary. More than 330 American organizations, primarily nonprofits, have given directly to Japanese groups, with 41 organizations raising more than $1 million each and 16 surpassing $5 million.

124

Key Role of Grassroots Ties One way in which the response of the American public to the March 11 disaster has stood out is its nature as a grassroots phenomenon. High profile national appeals were launched in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake with former Presidents encouraging Americans to donate. In comparison, while the U.S. military quickly provided humanitarian assistance to Japan, there was no coordinated national effort to mobilize American philanthropy. In fact, while some U.S. organizations launched appeals, many groups decided not to aggressively raise funds since Japan is a rich country and they did not feel they had sufficient expertise to operate there.

Instead, in the case of Japan, fundraising began as a bottom-up effort with thousands of schools, churches, community groups and individuals launching small fund drives. These came in all shapes and forms, ranging from school concerts to dance parties, bake sales, happy hours and sporting events. In many instances, it was personal ties to Japan that motivated people to raise funds—whether it was their experience living there, participation in exchange programs, friendship with Japanese expatriates or a fascination with Japanese pop culture. Amazingly, as one reflection of the importance of grassroots ties, nearly 100 U.S. towns and cities with sister cities in Japan organized fundraising campaigns.

The typical pattern that emerged was for community groups, company employees and individuals to raise money, then to search for larger organizations that could channel this to Japanese aid groups. As a result, much of this giving did not show up on the radar screen of the larger organizations that traditionally fundraise for disasters until weeks or even months after the earthquake, leading to a spate of inaccurate media reports that Americans were not demonstrating the same generosity toward Japan that they had shown other countries in crisis.

This also slowed the disbursement of funds to groups working in the disaster zone, allowing a disproportionate amount of American funding to go toward longer-term recovery efforts. Ultimately, this was fortuitous since the Japanese government and Japanese groups were already well equipped to provide immediate relief.

Impact of U.S. Giving While some observers without expertise on Japan mistakenly insisted that American donations for the March 11 disaster would make little difference given Japan’s relative prosperity, U.S. funding has in fact played a crucial role. This is because roughly 85 percent of U.S. contributions have ended up going toward nonprofit activities in Japan, filling an important and

125

underfunded niche in a nation where most domestic giving ends up being used for cash grants-in-aid for disaster victims. Japanese nonprofit organizations have been spearheading some of the most innovative and sophisticated responses in the disaster zone, and it has become clear that their efforts are essential for a sustainable, broad-based recovery. However, they have traditionally operated from weak financial bases and U.S. funding has played an invaluable role in allowing them to expand their capacity to meet the needs of the disaster survivors.

Friends Are Friends Forever When the JCCCNC created the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund it was not just about raising money for the immediate relief effort. It was also about making a commitment to remain connected to residents and organizations in Tohoku far beyond the disaster.

We learned this lesson from our support of the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake. Through that effort it became apparent that our support wouldn’t end once we sent donations to Japan. Rather it would begin with the creating and fostering of real and enduring friendships.

Less than one year after the Kobe tragedy, the Shinzen Nikkei Youth Goodwill Program was created in collaboration with two Kobe organizations. Every year the program brought together hundreds of high school students and their families. This program became so successful that many of the youth have stayed in contact and families continue to welcome each other to their homes.

Since then we also created two other youth programs called the Takahashi Youth Ambassador Fellowship Program and the Nikkei Cultural Heritage Program.

These programs provide an opportunity for Japanese American students to gain a better understanding of their cultural heritage and to establish a greater connection to Japan, its people, culture and history.

Photos from 2013 trips to Tohoku

For 19 years we have remained involved with the organizations that received support from our relief fund in 1995. One activity that is always included in these programs is a visit to a small out of the way orphanage in Kobe that we helped to rebuild back in 1995. We have sent participants to play games, perform dances and create arts and crafts with the children. Many of the participants have also raised funds and donated personally to the orphanage and do so regularly when new JCCCNC groups go to visit.

We have already begun to develop new relationships in the Tohoku region by sending youth and adults to visit the area. They volunteer with children in day-care centers and with seniors living in temporary housing. We hope to continue building upon these early friendships and create similar programs and activities that, like those in Kobe, will be able to connect the people of Tohoku with the people who supported them after the tragedies, fostering friendships that will also be ones that last forever.
