Help Japan 2011

 I would like to direct your attention to some associates of mine who have a Charity in Japan whose main purpose is disaster relief.

Here is what he says:

"This is Josh DeSantis, from Mt. Rokko, in Kobe, Japan.
I would like to introduce you to our appeal to aid the victims of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake.
I am one of the Chairpersons for a nationally registered NPO, Hiyaku28. One of our objectives as an NPO is aiding in disaster relief. We have opened a new project called: HELP JAPAN 2011
We have set up a website: www.helpjapan2011.net 
Our particular target is to aid in the PTDS (post-Traumatic Distress Syndrome), meaning visiting those who have been left homeless in temporary housing facilities, those who have lost loved ones and those whose livelihood has been affected by this disaster.
The Japanese government is much better prepared to handle the immediate crisis than in the past. The search and rescue operations are ongoing and it seems the National Defense Force and Police and other relief organizations – who are trained for such things – are doing their best at this time
It is the aftermath of the initial crisis that we are focusing on. The Kokoro-no-Care, (literally - Heart Care) that will be needed for the weeks and months after the initial crisis.
We expect that there will be many people who would like to help in some way – either as volunteers, or with a donation to aid volunteers, etc.. We have already begun to receive phone calls and emails from people in Japan and worldwide, asking how they can help.
We would like to ask if you could assist us in broadcasting our website and our program to anyone you know"

Please look at their website and help out in  any way you can!
