The buildings in this area have not been attended to,

but the ditches have received new covers.

 

 

The participants are writing articles based on their investigations.

All are using computers, although for many it is the first time to touch a computer. 

During today's 'Media Salon' we ventured outside for our investigations. When we talked about the stories to cover, participants voiced their concerns: one person said that to this day, she had not faced the ruins of her former home, another person said that she could not look at old photo albums, yet another was sad that the voice of a former classmate who had worked for the disaster prevention office and whose voice giving the tsunami alarm had been recorded, had turned into an object of loathing. One of the participants then acted as a guide, and we took photographs of the ruins of a large residential building as well as in its surroundings.

One woman participating in the Salon, had been an accountant with many years of work experience, but because she had no computer skills she could not find a job after the disaster made her also unemployed. So she attended our salon to learn some computer skills, and quickly began to use Word typing away on her report.

At Jonet, we proceed with lectures by employing those methods that have proven useful in practice such as this.
