Japan Tsunami

Urgent appeal

The devastation is utterly incredible. I am still in shock to see what has happened and is still happening in the Sanriku coast, Japan. Japan is facing now a nuclear power plant crisis. The death toll in Miyagi prefecture may reach 10,000. The Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, said that the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear incident is the biggest crisis Japan has encountered in the 65 years since the end of World War II. The rescue teams are coming from the all over the world to help. The number of the people in the rescue operations including the troops, police forces and the overseas teams are reaching 350,000. One of my friends in Japan said that hearing the news about how many people are coming from all over the word to help Japan is very encouraging and inspiring.

I have set up a charity account for people to donate money. I am planning to visit local schools to talk about the earthquake and the effect of the disaster to raise school education fund especially for the children in the most affected area, Miyagi prefecture.

Japan Earthquake and Tsunami



The time goes by and there are more devastating news about the aftermath around the northern
coast line of Japan, Sanriku kaigain.

It has been announced that the nuclear reactors in Fukushima are going to be decommissioned soon. They are planning to pour sea water in a industrial level into the reactors to cool down. Hope that will stop further disaster.

Pray for the people there.
