Two months pass by like a flash but it's been a long time.
24,829 people died or are missing. People missing and feared dead are nearly 10,000. Evacuees are about 117,000.
The police says, 14,949 died; 8,941 in Miyagi, 4,400 in Iwate, 1,544 in Fukushima, and 9,880 are missing and feared dead; 5,969 in Miyagi, 3,275 in Iwate, 632 in Fukushima.
People evacuated from the areas devastated by the quake, the tsunami and the nuclear power accident, are 117,085 in 2,412 small and large evacuation centers.
"Magokoro project," my project supported by OpenOffice.org community to help victims, will get a car which can be used to transport support goods, to take people from a evacuation center to my school, to visit evacuation centers and offer English lessons for children.
The car will be donated by my uncle living in Futtsu, Chiba, my mother's home town. I am planning to go there with my partner and daughter and pick it up. It will be a good chance to meet my friends in Chiba and Tokyo and directly tell them about my project and ask for help.
Please join us and observe a moment of silence for victims of the quake and tsunami today at 14:46 JST, 07:46 CEST, 05:46 UTC. Thank you.
