On March 13^th, 2012, the Health and Global Policy Institute hosted 36^th Special Breakfast Meeting. At this breakfast meeting, we welcomed Mr. Yotam Polizer, Japan Project Coordinator, IsraAID: The Israel Forum for International Humanitarian Aid as a speaker to speak on mainly about disaster reconstruction support activity in which IsraAID has been involved since last year.  Mr. Polizer has over 10 years experience in humanitarian aid and international development.  After the Great East Japan Earthquake, he has led the organization’s efforts on the ground, from cleaning and relief operations, to the current post-trauma professional capacity-building program in 7 cities of Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures. We had an active discussion about the current reconstruction after one year has passed since the disaster and the future support vision which should be changed along with needs.
