Fukushima Cross-Border Learning Journey

By Mio Yamamoto | Executive Director

Dear all,

As the holiday season begins, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continuing support for our cause. 

In October 2017, twelve leaders from the United States and Japan participated in the Cross-Border Learning Journey hosted by WIT. The participants visited social entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations in Fukushima and explored collaborative opportunities across different sectors and countries.

During the one-week Journey, participants from New Orleans, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Tokyo were very much inspired by the time spent with the social entrepreneurs and local people, who are creating a sustainable and resilient civil society despite the tremendous adversity.

I hope you will enjoy the following wonderful story written by one of the participants and a TV anchor in Seattle, Lori Matsukawa:  A Tale of Three Towns

We hope to keep strengthening the mutually supportive and inspiring relationship, which emerged out of the Journey, to make the world a better place!

Wish you all happy holidays,

Mio
