Summer has arrived in Tohoku, and the fishing season is here. Along the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, fishing families are working at full capacity. The most recent phase of the Peace Winds America fishing sheds program is completed - all the sheds are built and in use by their new owners. Thanks to our many donors, each shed represents a family that will be able to remain active in the fishing industry of Minamisanriku.
This week, former PWA intern Bryan is making a site visit to Tohoku, meeting with beneficiaries and project leaders. He will view firsthand the impact the sheds have made. We look forward to sharing his reports with you.
With the fishing shed program drawing to a close, we continue looking for ways to support ongoing recovery and rehabilitation. We have been following our partner Peace Winds Japan as they complete a needed senior community center in Minamisanriku. We look forward to working with them on future recovery projects.
