Takako plays the harp again!

When the earthquake hit north east Japan, Takako’s 400 year old house was completely devastated, along with each and every one of her belongings. With nothing left from her previous life, Takako herself was feeling lost and alone after the disaster.

Takako has been living at the Ohara-hama transitional shelter. Thanks to your donation at the Compassion Japan Event back in April, TED has been able to come to provide services and events for the shelter residents. At one of the recent tea parties, Takako was able to resume her old hobby of playing the Taisho harp. Such events have allowed Takako to slowly begin making new friends and feeling like her old self again. Thank you for giving JEN the capacity to help people like Takako start on the path to recovery.
