Japan's a wealthy country - right? So why should we help them - let them help themselves! You could think that but let's just slow down a little here:
- current estimates have well over 10,000 dead
- close to half a million people are in shelters
- it's winter and it's snowing
But typically, Rotary charities like
Shelterbox are already on the ground with help. And Rotary clubs around the world are clubbing together to help clubs locally.
"I have reports that Rotary clubs have begun to start planning projects for immediate help," says Rotarian Noriko Futagami. "Unfortunately, there are many Rotarians and families who haven't been able to be contacted. Rotarians in Japan worry for their safety". So these are Rotary family members who may not be returning. Futagami-san, we hear you!
