The Solution:What We Can Do to Help

Japan

By: Joao PereiraKevin LaCroix

On March 11, 2011,a catastrophe happened

A tsunami hit the east coast of Japan, which was caused by an

earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0

The destruction caused by the tsunami/earthquake combo was

unprecedented

Truly, it was a tragedy

Unfortunately, that’s not all…

The disaster caused a nuclear power plant

in Fukushima to explode

The area around the power plant was and still is in risk of radiation

You’re asking yourself“I really feel bad for what happened, but

what can I do?”

You’d be surprised…

To help, you don’t need to create your own charity, or rally against

nuclear power plants

All you need to do, is take some time from your day to donate to

one of these charities

You can donate money to the Red Cross, who

are helping the Red Cross of Japan.

Note that 100% of your money goes to the disaster relief

You could donate some spare clothes to the Salvation Army.

They’ve been in Japan since 1895, giving clothes to the needy

Another great organization to donate to would be Americares. It’s relief workers were sent there as soon as they heard

about the disaster, and have been working in Sendai, the largest city closest to the

impact zone

Donating to any one of these organizations would have an

immense help. Now matter how much, please donate

So far, 115,775 people have donated close to

$7,400,000

Do it for those who truly need our help
