About HARU

We provide assistance toward the reconstruction of Tohoku district, devastated by the quake and the following Tsunami on March 11, 2011.Many volunteer students of Tohoku University have joined us in this noble cause. Also, HARU have received official recognition from Tohoku University so that we are able to promote volunteer activities to meet community needs. In the future, we are switching our work to the long-term reconstruction with broad range of cooperation.

Report of a Natori city map-making

       This is S.H. in External Negotiations Section of HARU. I’d like to report about Natori city map-making underway. This is a part of our support for affected people’s move to provisional housings.





        Provisional housings are completed one by one and people have moved in there since late April. The residents aren't necessarily familiar with the surroundings there, so they need maps. However, general maps contain unnecessary information like the arable land and they lack necessary one like shop hours. So we pick up desiderata and commodities and make maps for residents’ comfortable lives at short notice. The experience when we moved to Sendai from other prefectures is useful here.


        Also, we entrusted facility survey to a cycling club and drawing maps to an art club. That will make easy-to-read maps at short times.

         We have finished the first area and are working on other three areas. Please take a look at the pictures below:

       


 Special thanks to members of a cycling club and an art club for the cooperation.
