PSPINC received a copy of a book put together by the Lost & Found Project from one of our clients in Los Angeles, and we wanted to share it with all of our readers.
The Lost & Found Project began as "Salvage Memory," a project to recover photographs swept away by the Great Eastern Japan Tsunami on March 11, 2011 and return them to their owners.
Many of the photographs that were found were able to be returned to their families, there were also those which were too badly damaged to be returned. Munemasa Takahashi, a photographer, and Kazuto Hoshi, a resident of Yamamoto, were both involved in "Salvage Memory" and decided to exhibit these damaged photos which would otherwise have been thrown out.
The exhibition they put together has traveled around the world and raised money to help support people in temporary housing and purchase supplies for damaged schools. For more information, please visit http://lostandfound311.jp/en/
PSPINC will have our copy of the book available to view in our lobby.
PSP Children’s Foundation (PSPCF) was formed in 2012 to provide programs and opportunities for children who are overcoming great challenges. In 2012, PSPCF put together a program called “Summer Experience in Seattle” for children who lost a parent or parents during the Tsunami in Japan in March 2011. In 2017, we established a scholarship fund at the University of Washington Foster School of Business to help financially disadvantaged students achieve their educational and career goals. Through our charity golf event we were able to give these 5 scholarships to 5 deserving students at the Foster School of Business.
