Christmas Ornament from Tohoku Granma

Our lives, especially those for people in Tohoku area, have completely changed since March 11, 2011. Survivors have still been having hard time physically and mentally. Many lost their jobs, which don’t mean they just lost their bread and butter. They lost their hopes.

Now, the new project has set up for women in the devastated area in hopes that they can regain their daily lives and hopes for the future. It is called Christmas Ornament from Tohoku Granma.

Those ornaments are made of organic cotton one by one by the affectionate and solid women’s hands, giving us warm feeling and the strength to go on living.

I wish you all Happy and Peaceful Christmas!
