Thanks to Ryan McDonald (Fukushima<\/a>-ken, 2002-05) for sharing the below. \u00a0Another great example of Return On JET-vestment<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

Last year, I and two other ex-JETs, created a calendar called This Is Fukushima<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. We paid for it ourselves and took donations from other ALTs in Fukushima. We made 2,500 copies and sent them around the world to the media, government officials, and even royalty. The goal was to show that Fukushima is more than a reactor. There is no Fukushima disaster, but there was a disaster in Fukushima. Too many people hear the word Fukushima and think it\u2019s only a nuclear reactor.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This is Fukushima Calendar (2013)<\/p><\/div>\n

This year the theme will be people and interesting places. We already have a few people in mind that have and are continuing to help Fukushima. We are also going to have more photos of some of our unique festivals. We want to print 4,000 this time and have a larger version with one month per page.<\/p>\n

There’s no question as to whether or not we can do it. We did already and can do it again. The only question is can we raise enough money to make it bigger and better. Any money raised over the goal will go to printing more calendars.<\/p>\n

If you would like to donate, please go to GoFundMe.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
