A second life

Press/Media: Expert Comment

Description

The article draws a parallelism between clearning up the Fukushima Daici nuclear plant in Japan and the All Hands Volunteers, a Massachusetts-based, non-profit organisation that cleans up old photos and returns them to their owners. The article posits that these are acts of “good works” that “stir a response in love” in empowering survivors to overcome their despair of the death of loved ones and hope in a second life.
