As what we all know, Japan had been hit by an earthquake, bigger than any of the earthquakes before (8.9/9.0 magnitude) on 11th March, 2011. The earthquake created tsunami waves of up to 10 meters (33 ft) that struck Japan, with smaller waves in many other countries. As a result of this, many other damage is done to the country. The roads and the buildings, people are left without electricity and water. To add up to their misery, two nuclear power plant in Fukushima.
It's certainly is one disaster after another, while many had been rescued, thousands are dead and there are still about 10,000 people missing or couldn't be contacted. Sad and shocking. Although other countries experienced smaller waves, there are not much damage done.
The point that I am trying to make here is, a lot of people is talking about the disaster and I couldn't help but listen and try not to make judgment. There are 2 sides of course, one is the one who said that they deserved it, another is the one who said that we all should pray for them. To me, I am on both sides, some of the people in Japan may deserve it but the rest of them don't.
The people who keep on talking about how terrible it is and how awful they must feel, it's the one that I actually look down on, not the ones who condemned them. I am saying this because just by offering sympathy and condolences from word of mouth and other media alternative doesn't make a difference to them. They are still in a very vulnerable condition. What they need is not sympathy, they need help and I think there must be something that we can do to help.
Participate in fund raising, be a volunteer, donate, anything as long as there are some things done to help them ease their burden. The loss they incurred are estimated to more than USD100 billion and it will take years to rebuild the country.
Here's a link I found on Google that we can use to donate online. Remember, every penny counts.
DONATE
God Bless Everyone.
