American View:<\/strong>\u00a0What is unique about disaster relief activities by JET program participants and alumni?<\/p>\n

Steven Horowitz:<\/strong>\u00a0The connection we have to the affected areas and to each other. And the language skills and ability to communicate directly with people in the communities. When you work for the school system, you really get connected to the community. You understand how things work, how kids evolve into adults. You’re part of the community. As a result, JETs are able to identify needs and then reach out to a global community to help fill them in unique ways. I think JETs and JET alumni in some ways were better able to identify needs on the ground than some of the larger, more removed relief organizations, and especially with regard to education-related needs.<\/p>\n
