Taylor Anderson was a Japan Exchange & Teaching (JET) Program teacher in Ishinomaki, Japan when she lost her life in the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The Taylor Anderson Memorial Foundation helps students, schools, and families in the Ishinomaki and general Tohoku area recover from the disaster as Taylor's family expects she would have wanted. The Foundation pursues Taylor's dream of being a bridge between the U.S. and Japan.
