25. Sachie Ogata (Former nursery teacher )
3.11 Experience
"Wesaw the tsunami coming
towards us. We thought it was too late but we
ran to the second floor. The water came up to our
necks. We were holding onto the curtain rails
thinking we were going to die, but
luckily the water receded and our lives were saved."
Thoughts on SECOND CHANCE
"I have always enjoyed knitting. Spending my time
productively and making handmade goods is much
more fun than staying at the temporary housing."

26. Megumi Aizawa (Lives with husband and 5 children)
3.11 Experience
"I was at home with four of my children. I didn't
know what to do. It was hard to grasp what
was going on. I grabbed a few diapers and wet wipes
and jumped into the car. The roads were already
flooded.
If we had waited another 30
seconds, we probably wouldn't
have made it."
Thoughts on SECOND CHANCE
"I think it's wonderful to be able to create
something by hand for someone. I can work when
my time allows and earn money."

27. Junko Abe
3.11 Experience
"I was at home but it felt like I was on a
trampoline. All my furniture collapsed and the floor
was covered in debris. I couldn't grab any of my
belongings so I escaped empty-handed. I was told to go
to the mountain. I spent the night in my
car. I felt sea-sick from the earthquake and
aftershocks."
Thoughts on SECOND CHANCE
"I used to knit and sew but everything I had made was washed away. This
project gave me the energy to want to knit again.
Before this, I couldn't even imagine knitting. I didn't know anyone at first, but
despite our age differences, we work together and I
find it easy to talk with them."

Editor's Notes
We want to go global. We will bridge differences in societies beyond New York and Tokyo through our volunteer programs Former NYdV staff started TKdV in Tokyo – we want to keep expanding our organization to serve the world!
We have visited 20 locations so far – we can double the size in two years! There are sixteen hundred children currently participating in our Japanese cultural after-school program and we will serve thirty-two hundred children by 2013. Japanese Spa Day is done annualy -> We want to increase this event to 4 times a year. Explore Japanese Culture is the first step for many of the participating children to learn about different culture, and we’d like to take this to the next level! The Global Citizen Alumni Club will help them to have an opportunity to visit Japan.

We also have hand-made origami earrings You can pre-order them through the staff members here with the order form.
I’d like to make a point here that NYdV historically relied on a few large supporters – US-Japan foundation and New York City. As you can imagine, NYC is going through budget cut after the economic crisis and reduced the budget for our EJC program. By increasing support from individuals, we can still achieve the short-term goals. We want to increase individual supporters by 5 times… to 500 people. We want to increase corporate supporters by 3 times to 120 organizations.
