\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The 113 Project<\/a>\u00a0was born out of the desire to help the Tohoku region of Japan with the long term recovery following the disaster of March 11, 2011 (3.11). \u00a0Our goal is to reclaim Tohoku from the stigma of the disaster and bring increased tourism and volunteerism to the region. \u00a0We believe that this combination leads to a 1+1=3 scenario, where the outcome is greater than the sum of its parts.<\/div>\n
The team was in Japan gathering footage for a series of short webisodes. \u00a0We interviewed members of local communities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima, and we cannot wait to share these stories with the JET community.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We are halfway to our goal in our kickstarter campaign, but we need your help to bring these stories to life. \u00a0Please consider\u00a0supporting this project<\/a>, so the JET community can show the Tohoku communities that they have our support, and are in our hearts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Please visit our\u00a0kickstarter page<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about the project, or email\u00a0tohokutomo@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
