Thanks to Kyushu-based professional translator Joel Dechant<\/strong> for alerting JEtwit to this article in Japanese<\/a> on Asahi.com<\/strong> about Tuesday night’s JETAA NY Japan Fundraiser<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 My Japanese reading ability has weakened over the years, but it looks like I’m quoted at the end of the article.\u00a0 I think the other JET alum quoted is Ayelet Fogel (Sendai City, Miyagi-ken)<\/strong> who is in the photo.\u00a0 (And yes, that’s me in the background of the photo wearing my “JETAANY Nihongo wakaru yo!” t-shirt.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\nFormer English Teachers support their 2nd hometowns
\nApril 12, 2011, 10:25<\/p>\n

Former American English teachers who worked in Japanese junior high and high schools are organizing to support the victims of the recent eastern Japan earthquake.\u00a0\u00a0 There was a fundraiser party in New York on the evening of April 5, where many participants came out in support of their \u201csecond hometowns.\u201d
\nAyelet Fogel (31 yrs\/old), from New York\u2019s Long Island, was at her home in Sendai City on the day of the \u201c3\/11\u201d quake.\u00a0 She ran outside to safety as items in her home came crashing down.<\/p>\n

Fogel has lived in Miyagi Prefecture since August 2003 when she was invited by the Japanese government to serve as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) on the JET Programme.\u00a0 After finishing her 3 year term, she remained in Miyagi and taught for 8 years at 7 schools in the prefecture.\u00a0 She is currently employed as an instructor at the Sendai Ikuei Gakuen.<\/p>\n

In Minamisanriku Village and Kesennuma City, where Fogel spent her first 2 years in Japan, she has many friends whose houses were washed away by the tsunami.\u00a0 The beautiful coastline where she went fishing and surfing many times in the past with her friends has been turned into a mountain of rubble.\u00a0 JET participant Taylor Anderson, who was based in Miyagi Prefecture\u2019s Ishinomaki City, died in the disaster.
\nFogel did not want to leave her friends in Miyagi in a time of distress, but upon the request of her family, she returned to the US on March 18th.\u00a0 \u201cI should be able to do something to help from the US as well,\u201d she thought, and so began to collect donations for the disaster relief effort. She plans to return to Sendai in time for the beginning of the new school year on April 20th.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1987, the JET Programme now has over 50,000 alumni.<\/p>\n

The fundraiser party in New York attracted about 300 guests and raised over 10,000 dollars (~90,000 yen).\u00a0 According to Steven Horowitz, who lived in Aichi Prefecture\u2019s Kariya City in the 1990s, similar fundraising events are taking place across the United States.\u00a0 \u201cWherever we are, we are all Japanese in our hearts.\u00a0 We want to do something to give back for the time we spent in Japan,\u201d Horowitz said.<\/p>\n
