Over 100 people attended the emergency relief volunteer staff orientation at Peace Boat Centre Tokyo a day before and 35 people will be departing today to provide meals and assist at the evacuation centres in Miyagi.
Then I am the one of 35.
(from Press Release)
ACTIVITY REPORT
Peace Boat sent two advance teams to the affected areas from March 16 to collect information about the damage and needs, and deliver aid including 100 blankets, food including rice and noodles, masks etc. These items were brought directly to evacuation centres in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, upon consultation with local authorities. Since then, staff members have been assisting with distribution of goods in the affected areas, particularly between smaller evacuation centres. The team has also delivered meals to Nisshin Hospital and Saito Hospital, where patients had run out of food. Peace Boat is now also conducting assessments of the needs and current situation in each evacuation centre in the area, as well as coordinating requests from other organisations willing to help provide meals and other aid in Ishinomaki.

Tonight, I am leaving to Ishinomaki-city Miyagi. It must be tragic reality. However I'll try not to be pessimistic, just do my job, making hot food and helping evacuation camp for victims...and offer a smile of reassurance for them.
Brackout, bad water condition.... Those problems are many places in other countries.. We were just lucky till this happened. Let's think of the disaster areas... The area is not the place ''some one'' can help. WE each of us have to take action and over come any difficulty together !!
A chubby and funny guy who went to the around world cruise on the same boat 10 years ago ! Now, he is a PEACE BOAT staff ! He is a leader of my volunteer group this time.I am really encouraged.
And I got messages from everyone.... Thank you !!
I can fight for this because of you are all inside of my heart !! Love you all !!
