On March 11, 2011, Northeastern Japan was jolteed by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis that has devastated the Tohoku region.
Over 15,000 people are confirmed dead and another 7,000+ are still missing.
4 months later, over 150,000 people are still living in shelters, temporary housing or with relatives, unable to return home because there is no place to return to. Some towns, like Minamisanriku and Rikuzentakata, were nearly completely washed away. A handful of buildings are left standing, but for the most part, only the foundations show where houses and buildings used to be.
As journalists, our job is to document and tell stories. As people, our responsibility is to help people in need. So my friend and I have taken it upon ourselves to do what we can to help those in need.
We have met with many of the survivors and we have identified specific needs that they have requested and would greatly improve the quality of life.
Please visit our website to see how you can help the people of Japan.
