What is Miyagi-Jonet?

MIYAGI JO-NET (Miyagi Women’s Support Network) is a non-profit organisation supporting women in the Tohoku area that was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. We aim to connect the women in the affected areas with women and supporters from around Japan and the world. To this end, we are cooperating with various other women’s and relief organisations. Our many projects are designed to help women individually in reconstructing their lives and livelihoods. We thereby hope to brighten their everyday a little bit. We also collect relief/support goods and other donations to distribute them among the women and families affected by the disaster. Through regular meetings, our ‘salons,’ and consultations, we gain insight into women’s needs and concerns, and propose adequate measures to local and regional administrations.

Many of Miyagi Jonet’s members are women affected themselves by the disaster.

Making wreath for Christmas

 
We arranged branches of fir tree into wreath and put Christmas ornaments on them. It might look easy, but one has to think carefully about the colour arrangements and the weight of the ornaments.

 

 
At the Salon, we offered this specialty from Mino City: Momiji Tempura (deep-fried momiji/maple leaves). "I had Momiji Manju (steamed bun in the shape of a maple leave, with a filling of sweet bean-paste), but not these ... oh, these are delicious." The Momiji Tempura taste like Karinto (brown-sugar candied sweets) and they have indeed one maple leave inside.


 
At this particular temporary housing unit, 
the residents can keep rabbits and chicken.
