Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami. Yoko Kanno tribute

On March 11th at around 14:46 Local time (05:46 GMT) the largest earthquake to hit Japan on records caused heavy damage to the North East of Japan, and caused a deadly Tsunami which has caused billions in damage and a loss of life set to reach into the 1,000

After effects have left Nuclear plants in risk of meltdown and oil refineries ablaze, leading to power and fuel shortages.

Many countries have sent specialist volunteer groups to help the victims of Japan, but all they can do is support the needs of those left homeless in the short run and help save those who are trapped as a result of the devastating earthquake.

What we as fellow members of this planet can do to help the people of Japan is donate to fund the hard working charities out there who aren’t helping because of a need or sense of duty, but because they wish to help fellow civilians of this planet to rebuild and try and move on from these events.

If you wish to donate any amount to help the people of Japan, the following sites are available of citizens of the United Kingdom to send help to our Japanese Brethren

The British Red Cross

Shelter Box

World Vision

Crunchyroll (Will match any donation made up to $5000/£3000)

Update: Yoko Kanno has also recorded a song in tribute to people of Japan
