Donations for Japan Earthquake

On the 11th of March 2011, an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 hit Sendai, in Japan. The earthquake caused a massive tsunami that destroyed costal areas in the North Eastern part of Japan. Thousands of people were killed in the earthquake and the tsunami, and out of those who survived, many have died because of the cold. On top of this unfortunate natural disaster, there have been nuclear reactor leaks in Fukushima, exposing radiation. These two crises are currently affecting Japan extremely badly and so the Japanese community in Sri Lanka decided to collect donations to give to the Japanese Red Cross in order to help the situation. Me and another Japanese student decided to open an account in the school business office for donations in the school to help the Japanese community. The money collected is being given to the Japanese Embassy in Sri Lanka. Although many people believe that, because Japan is one of the most economically strong nations, they are not that in need for donations, the two disasters happening simultaneously is devastating. We hope our school can contribute by donating some money to the account in the school business office.
