｢泳げ釜石くん」プロジェクト

日本リザルツ　遠野にベースを置く

日本リザルツの事務局長　白須さんは、NGOとして海外、特にハイチの支援で実績をあげているが、災害直後から岩手に何度も足を運んでいる。

今回、日本の災害にこれまで積み上げてきた経験をいかし、復活への支援をスタートさせた。私は別荘を開放し、2名の職員に常駐していただいている。彼らは毎日、釜石、大槌の仮設住宅に出向き、これから日本政府が発動する政策を具体的に提示、住民の方々の相談にのっている。2名の職員は、日置君と村上さんだ。そして被災地で失業していた佐久間さんを運転手に雇用し、地元事情を理解しながら、連日フル活動中。

向かって一番左端が村上さん、右から二番目が日置君

English Version:

RESULTS Japan, locating a base in Tono.

Ms. Shirasu, RESULTS’ executive director, has a track record of NGO support activity outside Japan, especially in Haiti. Since very soon after the earthquake, she has come to Iwate many times.

Using her experiences abroad, she has engaged in reconstruction assistance in the affected areas in Japan. I have an open house for the activities and let 2 workers stay there.

Everyday, they visit temporary houses in Kamaishi and Ohtsuchi. They explain in simple terms the policy the Japanese government will carry out in the near future to the people and offer individual consultation in the temporary houses.

The 2 workers are Mr. Hiroki and Ms. Murakami. In addition to them, RESULTS J has hired Mr. Sakuma, who had lost his job in Kamaishi, as a driver. They ascertain the true local situation and proceed with their work fully everyday.
