Tohoku, Japan.<br />
Earthquake. Tsunami. Nuclear Crisis.<br />
16,000 lost their lives. 3,000 still missing.<br />
Several years later, the north-eastern coast of Japan is far from being fully recovered<br />
physically, economically, and emotionally.<br />
But there is hope! As soon as immediate needs for food, water, and shelter were<br />
being met, Community Arts Tokyo was bringing another form of relief: music.<br />
We continue the program even today with concerts, music classes, and Gospel<br />
choirs for all ages.<br />
“There is so much grief and pain in the hearts of the middle schoolers.<br />
But through the Gospel and through music, they<br />
get back dreams and hope.”<br />
~staff member Mami Amano<br />
