The sight of the aftermath in the Philippines broke our heart. When
looking at the images of people suffering after the typhoon, we grieve the fact
that countless people suddenly lost everything, and that there is no food, clean
water or medicine at all.
In Sendai, international students at Tohoku
University decided to make a collective effort for them: they stood on the
street and raised money for the Philippines. In fact, various companies and
foundations in Sendai are working on raising funds for repairing typhoon damage
in the Philippines. Having experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Sendai
City Office also raised money in November, and sent it through the Japan Red
Cross Society. We cannot ignore the disaster victims!
