Dear Nadians,

As you may know, shelters in Ishinomaki have closed on October 11.
Most people are now staying in temporary housing complexes or in their (still devasted) house.

In order to bring some positive energy to as many people as possible, we are planning a NADIA event in Ishinomaki, in collaboration with the volunteer center of Oshika Peninsula, one of the most affected area in Ishinomaki : a roasted pig event on Saturday Oct. 29, followed on Sunday by a day of volunteering (remove mud in houses etc).

We expect as many of you as possible, so you can share thoughts with refugees, and participate to the local economy by staying in small ryokans (Japanese hotel) that used to be refugee centers.

Nadians are known to be cheerful and nice to be surrounded by so we hope to have as many of you as possible!

If you would like to organise a small activity for the refugees (games for children, bring special home made cakes, teach English, Hawaiian dance, bring music, etc), do not hesitate to contact us!

Looking forward to see you soon!
