三重県出身で、オーストラリアに25年住んでいるため、東北の震災様子を身近に感じられず毎年申し訳ない思いでいました。今回のイベントで　初めて何かを出来る機会いただき、大変光栄です。メルボルンの情熱があちらの方々につたわりますように（荒木美帆）。


I have lived in Australia for past 25 years, so I cannot necessarily feel that I know what's going on in the affected region and I have been feeling sorry about that every year. This time, I am very happy to contribute something for that cause. Wish our pray would reach to the people in the Tohoku region (by the owner of Ebisu Design: Miho Leitch)

Comment on the 11/3 from him:
Why did I decide to get involved in the event for the people of the Tohoku area who are still facing difficulties on daily basis. I have some reasons to support the event.
One: the funds raised proceeds to Japan-Australia Junior Program based in Melbourne who has invited 14-5 students from the affected area for past 4 years from 2012. Those students delivered presentations at school on how their towns had been recovering or struggling, together with their personal experience and story from the unprecedented human and natural disaster. Education for young generations from the Tohoku area, I believer, slowly yet steadily raises and keeps awareness of how resilience people can be and also how destructive it is to rely on nuclear power close to your residence.
Two: I believe it is important to keep informed of the effect of nuclear power and usage in the human history. I am from Hiroshima, and we had the 70th commemoration last year. After 70 yeas on, our society is still under the thread of nuclear weapons - why?! I am urged and scared that Japanese government already re-opened one nuclear power plant... Peace is not something given for granted, so through the event, I also want to keep everyone aware of what we can do to make our society safer place to live.
I feel that I have given such a great opportunity to reflect and critically think about the effect of nuclear power through the event, and wish all of us who are Japanese. who love Japan in anyway, who wish peace for future generations take the 5th year commemoration an momentum to think about the peace for all human kinds.
