Description:

As part of an inter-collegiate lecture tour, two important guest speakers will visit Middlebury College to offer their reflections on the disaster. Ms. Keiko Kiyama, the Secretary General of JEN (originally established as “Japan Emergency NGOs”) and Ms. Nozomi Kanda, the director of Power of Japan, will give a talk entitled “Rethink, Rebuild, Remember.”

We hope that, by listening to these two speakers, both of whom have personal experience of working in the afflicted areas, students and community members here can relive the experience of the disaster and hear a personal side of the story that one cannot normally find on news reports. We hope that students will have an opportunity to interact with the speakers in such a way that they learn not only about Japan’s current situation, but also about non-profit work in general and how they can make a difference in their own communities.
