HOPE.

Many are evacuating the Nuclear Plant area in Fukushima Prefecture. Even people in Tokyo are fleeing, some I know are already overseas.

The refugees are staying in the emergency shelter, locally run gymnasiums in Yamagata or Niigata prefecture. It is so cold tonight and many are sleeping on the floor just with thin blankets.

It is not just the material and physical discomfort but as time goes by there will be emotional trauma that will surface and need to be dealt with. Coming days psychological support will be needed.

I just pray very hard for all of the people in this difficulty now and ourselves to find the fortitude to over come this.
