Japan

It is in this grave hour that our humanitarian side must really shine through. Though I have been following the events in Japan closely, I am still appalled and mesmerized with the images that I see. Images of complete towns being swept away by ocean waves, of huge flames consuming entire buildings. It’s so hard to believe that this is happening in my dear Japan, a country that opened its heart and soul to me. The magnitude of the devastation has yet to be assessed and I truly fear the effects of this catastrophe. With that said however, I trust that people around the world feel for Japan and will quickly rush to help. My heart goes out to you, Nihon. Stay strong my brothers and sisters, but above all, stay safe.
