Talking to Tohoku earthquake survivors as volunteering
When I was in Fukushima prefecture, a Japanese person I was talking to said I should volunteer to speak with people affected by 3/11, as I'm not a local, and some people want to talk to non-locals about the event. He was aware of my limited Japanese when suggesting this.
However, I haven't been able to find any information on this on the net, including where, when and how to do this. What information sources are there for this (especially in Iwate prefecture), and what words are used for this volunteering activity?
