Ayako has a renewed sense of adventure!

When the tsunami hit northeast Japan, Ayako lost everything in her city center flat. She now resides at the Omori Danchi transitional shelter which is about 15 km outside of the city. Ayako has lost her sense of belonging in this new place, and has experienced great troubles adjusting to life in the inner mountain area.

Thanks to the donation you made at the Compassion Japan Event back in April, Ayako is able to attend different social activities put on by JEN that allow her to meet new people. Since she lives alone and is having a harder time caring for herself, it is imperative for her to make new friends and be able to ask for help. Events such as the tea parties held by JEN are slowly helping Ayako adjust and improve her quality of life. She especially enjoys talking with the volunteers at her shelter that come from other areas of Japan. They ignite her desire to travel around the country again someday. Thank you Robert and Naomi for helping Ayako regain her life.
