The newest JLGC Newsletter is has been published and can be viewed here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.jlgc.org\/pdfs\/en\/news74.pdf<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The issue includes a feature on the recent JETAA USA<\/a> Conference in San Francisco as well as well-written and extremely informative report by CLAIR-NY Senior Researcher Matt Gillam following his recent visit to Ishinomaki City, Miyagi titled, “Appearance and Reality: \u00a0Recovery and Tohoku<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

“Even people who live there can sometimes be amazed at the pace of recovery. Until you talk for a while and realize there are two recoveries going on, the physical and the psychological, and there is a vast difference between what can be seen and what cannot. \u00a0This point was driven home for me when I spoke with the principal of an elementary school in Ishinomaki who talked about how many problems the kids are having lately and the increase in theft, bullying, fights, and other manifestations of the stress and\u00a0trauma that they bring to school from their homes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

JLGC publishes semi-annual newsletters featuring articles on JETAA activity, sister city and sister state relationships, exchange programs, and local government issues in the United States, Canada, and Japan. \u00a0The newsletter enables local government officials, JLGC’s fellowship program participants, and other interested persons to stay abreast of JLGC activities and research efforts. At the same time, the newsletter provides those outside of the organization with the opportunity to share their ideas and opinions.<\/p>\n
