As we mark the one-year anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we keep the people of Japan in our daily thoughts. While Japan has made enormous strides toward recovery and rebuilding, the road is long and full of obstacles, and many huge challenges still remain. Reverberations from the disaster will echo for many years, taking emotional, physical, social, and economic tolls.
We’re grateful to the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership (CGP) for their support with the grant to cover a portion of the costs related to the launch of an international volunteer exchange program in Japan. We hope that United Planet can build a strong infrastructure to provide both international and local volunteers to the earthquake/tsunami recovery effort as well as financial support over many years to come.
United Planet continues to strive to make a difference in Japan and in many other areas around the world. Together, we truly can unite the world one relationship at a time.
