  • Thanks Serge for highlighting this effort to bring emergency food and other items to the hundreds of thousands of people in need.
    It really is a MASSIVE issue (as you may have guessed from all the horrific tsunami images) and there are a lot of people who are going to be without homes and jobs for a very long time.
    best wishes from Tokyo…
