Taylor Anderson was an extraordinary American who dedicated herself to teaching Japanese children, living her dream right up to the events of March 11, 2011.
She was the first confirmed American casualty of disaster that struck northeastern Japan. As part of the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme, she spent 2½ years teaching English to kindergarten, lower school and junior high school students in the coastal city of Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture. She was last seen helping and reassuring her students.
