All,
Just letting everyone know that Emiko, Miya, and I will be flying to Tokyo, Japan (along with other family members) on Tuesday, April 17. We’ll be there through April 26. From there, we are going to Ishinomaki to personally see the damage from the tsunami. I will be taking a lot of photos and writing about our trip here. In addition, we’re in the process of trying to rebuild a playground there. We will be meeting with officials there to discuss plans for rebuilding.
DAAP (the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati) is interested in helping with the design and is intending to create a class project for their fall curriculum.
We can fill you in on the details later. We’ll try to post updates as much as possible depending on available internet access.
Wish us luck and we’ll be talking to you soon. 🙂
