TOMODACHI Generation: Robin Lewis

Robin Lewis 

Mr. Lewis is an International Coordinator for Peace Boat, a Japan-based international non-governmental and non-profit organization that works to promote peace, human rights, equal and sustainable development and respect for the environment.

He participated in the Humanitarian Response Workshop, a part of the TOMODACHI NGO Leadership Program supported by J.P. Morgan. During this workshop, non-governmental organization (NGO) leaders from Japan, China, Taiwan and Korea committed to disaster response, gathered to learn new skills and build upon their knowledge of various topics.

Mr. Lewis has partnered with the TOMODACHI Initiative to provide an alumni workshop titled, “TOMODACHI Disaster Resilience Leadership Training Program” that will be provided to alumni on January 30-31, 2016.

This two-day program workshop will provide practical skills for  Pyschological First Aid (PFA) and Stress Management (SM), as well as  Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Relief Volunteer Training.

 

 

“The TOMODACHI Summit was a very worthwhile and rewarding experience. It provided the chance to connect with over 100 like-minded and passionate alumni, all of whom are committed to contributing to society in one way or another. 

 

The Summit served as a platform to share experiences, ideas and stories from all over Japan and the USA, which helped to enrich my understanding of the US-Japan relationship and other contemporary global issues. 

 

I look forward to strengthening ties with the TOMODACHI alumni that I met at the Summit and hope to take meaningful, positive action together going forward.”
