Went to the shelter at my school in Noda, scenes as bad as they look on the news. The shelter however seems to be well-supplied, so the best thing I think for anyone who is able to and who wishes to help is to donate either money or needed items through the official agencies so that they are used where they are most needed.
Second Harvest, based in Japan - http://www.2hj.org/index.php/news/send_us_food_and_supplies/ - are accepting postal donations of a wide variety of needed items, as well as money. Please see the site for a list of what they need.
You can also donate money to the Red Cross effort in Japan through this link http://www.google.com/crisisresponse/japanquake2011.html

Im raising money at the pub by milking the Chelsea locals' fat wallets - lots of fundraising going on in London right now which is good to see!
ReplyDeleteHi Adam, I'm a journalist at BBC London TV News -we're covering the effect of the tragedy in Japan on the community in London. We're trying to get in touch with yourself and your mum for a possible interview. Please could you email me contact details if possible - you can get me on jane.bradley@bbc.co.uk or just comment on here if it's easier.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what your friends and family are going through and hope you're okay.
Best,
