Higashi Nihon Daishinsai Affectees Accommodation Project in Gifu

Gifu-Seino "Creating New Bonds”

    -Higashi Nihon Daishinsai Affectees Accommodation Project-

Please give us your fine support!

Higashi Nihon Daishinsai caused unprecedented disaster in the region so that it is extremely difficult for its affectees to live in their pre-disaster locales. For this reason, our Seinou area has decided to register empty houses in the area and facilitate affectees' temporary translocation whereby we initiate "new public projects" for supporting affectees and give job assistance and training to them, helping them rebuild their lives and stand on their own.

TO:
To those who are afflicted by the Higashi Nihon Daishinsai and to those who are thinking to evacuate from the Fukusima Daiichi nuclear reactors disaster.

Dear friends,
We sincerely express condolences to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, Higashi Nihon Daishinsai. Also we express sincere compassion to those who are taking refuge for the Daishinsai and Fukusima Daiichi nuclear reactors disasters.

We, the Seino Environmental NPO Network, a network of 25 NPOs of Seino Area, southwest of Gifu Prefecture has prepared conditions in this Seino region with the help of local administrative organs and businesses to provide rather longer term shelter for affectees.

This is to inform those people who are considering relocation from the stricken area and Fukusima Daiichi affected area that we are ready to accept you. We call this project, Atarasii Enishi Dukuri’, Creating New Bonds.

Please fill in the application form printed on the other side of this copy and send it to the secretariat address. At the secretariat address, Tarui-cho, Fuwa-gun, Gifu prefecture, (Tarui Station, 45 minutes away from Nagoya Station by JR Tokai-do line) we have prepared shelter for short term stay, so please manage to come to the station, first. There, we will decide houses for longer term stay for living after private consultation of each family about what they want.

Though the main worker is Seino Environmental NPO Network, this project is provided by many participants such as Gifu prefecture, and relevant administrative offices and businesses of this region. To live in an unfamiliar place there must be many difficulties. So we are considering we might offer not only daily life support and health care but also job assistance and job training. We, the persons concerned, are sincerely committed with this project.

Please don’t hesitate to ask us for the details. We are waiting for inquiries.

Sincerely yours

Nakamura Yoshihisa
