Report on "The 13th Donation Seminar 2024"
Just a day before the Nikkei Stock Average reached 40,000 yen, the 13th Donation Seminar 2024 was held at the Nikkei Hall on Saturday, March 2, 2024. The final event of the series was a great success. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have supported us over the years. All of your donations will go to the 'Taylor Anderson Memorial Fund'. Taylor Anderson was the first confirmed American casualty of the March 11, 2011 tsunami in Japan. As part of the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme, Taylor spent two and a half years teaching English to kindergarten, lower school and junior high school students in the coastal city of Ishinomaki of Miyagi Prefecture. She was last seen helping and assuring her students after the disaster. The main purposes of the Fund are to help students, schools and families in the Ishinomaki area recover from the earthquake and tsunami as Taylor’s family expects Taylor would have wanted, and to pursue Taylor’s dream of being a bridge between the U.S. and Japan.
