Angela Ortiz and Nicholas Pettas did an amazingly challenging ride around Tohoku to see what the infrastructure is like now as we are approaching the 10 year anniversary of the Tohoku disaster (3.11.2011). Watch the talk on YouTube here
Angela Ortiz is founder of Place to Grow NGO which has been supporting local communities in Tohoku since the disaster, so this was a chance for her to not only enjoy a beautiful cycling adventure, but also to reconnect with local stakeholders to hear first-hand about their reaction to projects and programs over the years + help coordinate the best step forward.
