Sarajean's notes

KVH has requested that we send out a press release regarding the We Care Japan portal – http://www.wecarejapan.org/#! en   Created in response to the BCCJ Disaster Relief forum on March 31. The key to the site’s success was always going to hinge upon buy in from the NPOs / volunteers, regarding the needs / gaps in relief they were aware of. BCCJ Disaster Relief Forum opens “We care! Japan ( http://wecarejapan.org/) ” Japanese/English information matching website to help facilitate the flow of aid to hard-to-reach disaster areas in Tohoku - This open-network site enables the fine-tuned, timely allocation of aid and support from non-Japanese communities in response to the needs of survivors who are not living in emergency shelters - May 30 2011 - Almost three months on from the twin disasters of March 11, and gaps in aid delivery to Tohoku still exist. While infrastructure is being successfully rebuilt, survivors are moving from emergency shelters into temporary housi...

Phase II Plan Over the next two years we will work with local agencies and relief organizations to establish a food lifeline and food safety-net in the region. Our work will always be linked to long-term recovery and economic development. We have begun the process of identifying these organizations and determining their immediate needs and ability to carry out these goals. We believe that as many as five locations will be needed to cover the area from Iwaki-shi in the south to Miyako in the north. While it is too early to provide precise estimates on funding needs, we believe this project could cost upwards ¥80 million over the next two years. We want to thank all of our donors. We have raised more than ¥50 million for this project. As we move ahead we will be reaching out to businesses and foundations who have expressed a desire to support our efforts in the region. Your ongoing support will make it possible for us to not only reach those in need in Tohoku, but anywhe...

Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (JEARS).     We formed our group on March 12 and immediately went into action to assist animals that have been injured, displaced or abandoned due to the earthquake.   We also support people in Tohoku who are struggling to care for their pets/animals by offering to temporarily or permanently care for their animals (for example, finding new permanent homes) and providing much needed supplies that have been difficult to come by since March 11. Our group is in desperate need of supplies (for example, cages which we are constantly having to pay a lot to purchase).  The purpose of my e-mail to you is to enquire about the possibility of running an advertisement for such supplies in your publication.  If you normally charge for such advertisements, due to the nature of our group (volunteer), and due to limited funds, we wish to kindly request that an advertisement be run free of charge. If you are agreeable to ...

JEARS has 2 cars in the field but we are always looking for drivers with 4WD or a van. Volunteers should have a love for animals, must speak Japanese, have a drivers license, be able to look after themselves and think out of the box in unusual situations. We desperately need people who can spend weekdays with our crew as well as weekends. 2. To help at one of the 3 shelters. Weekends ok Shelter Locations: Near Niigata city, Hikone, Shiga ken, Tokushima, Shikoku. Volunteers should have a love for animals, must be reasonably bilingual, a drivers license is useful. 3.

Three concerns I have now about where we are going in Tohoku PART 2 is about Gender  Women's rights vs. protecting women I have been writing and reading trying to get information about what is going on with regards to GV and post disaster support for women. Gender based and sexual violence tends to raise during/after disasters – natural and/or human made. In disaster management, it is important to take measures to not only looking out for GBV. However since Japan is a “safe” country some organizations have put aside the precautions they would ordinarily follow if they were doing relief work elsewhere. No doubt GBV goes un/under -reported in all countries and Japan is no exception. However in times of crisis when the violence rises it is even more important not to suspend the rights and protections of women and children. There are individuals and groups giving out whistles and cards with hotline numbers, but we need to also heighten the level of understanding that this is ...

Three concerns I have now about where we are going in Tohoku  PART 1.  Seasonal issues or the issues we must face if we are to be effective in spring - rainy season and summer Rainy season is almost upon us.
