“Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form.

But then, it is not really a thing, and it is not of this world.”

Regular periods of meditation are proven to reduce anxiety, enhance sleep,

and improve overall well-being.

comes from a shared experience of peaceful stillness. Take a break from

classes, studying, and chatter as you learn how to relax by sitting quietly

and attentively.

Randy Martin arrived in Tohoku within a few days of the Great East Japan

Earthquake. His mission: to look at how the disaster had impacted markets and

to work with local partners to devise a relief strategy that would support

economic recovery.



Mr. Martin is Director for Global Emergency Operations at Mercy Corps, a US and

British-based NGO specialized in international humanitarian relief and development.

Working through a decade-long partnership with Peace Winds Japan, and later with

Planet Finance Japan and the Kesennuma Shinkin Bank, Mercy Corps has applied its

global disaster response experience to community-led, market-driven programs in

Tohoku.



Mr. Martin will visit the ICC to describe how disaster relief can undermine economic

recovery―and talk about a number of approaches which help to address this problem

in Tohoku, and elsewhere around the world.



Additionally, Mr. Martin will talk about what it’s like to work at an NGO and

provide useful insights for those interested in pursuing careers with internationally

active NGO’s.



　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Speaker Profile

　Randy Martin has been engaged in international work for over

　25 years, responding to relief and development challenges

　in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Since joining Mercy Corps

　in 2003, Mr. Martin has served as Director of Global

　Emergency Operations, coordinating the agency’s response

　to numerous natural and man-made disasters including earthquakes

　in Iran, Peru, China and Haiti; cyclones in Pakistan, Myanmar

　and Honduras, and complex emergencies in Darfur, DR Congo,

　Kenya and Gaza―among many others. Mr. Martin is now

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　Mercy Corps’ Director for Partnership Development for East Asia,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　based in Tokyo, where he continues to work on relief and

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　development programming through partnerships with Japanese

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　and other East Asian organizations. Building on their experience

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　together in Tohoku, he has just completed a joint assessment with

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　Peace Winds Japan for drought recovery programming in Niger.
