There is an interesting support project called "
Hagaki no chikara" which means "Power of postcards". (The website has only Japanese pages.)
They collect postcards -- postal cards that don't need a stamp or postcards WITH 50-yen stamps -- and 50-yen stamps, pens to write with, and send them to the people in the quake-hit areas so that they can use the postcards to let their family/friends know how they have been doing. They can also write help/thank-you letters, too. In the time like this, analogue way counts so much.
As I've been asking a handwritten messages on
We Share The Hope, I couldn't agree more to their concept.
They accept postcards until the end of this month (August 31). You could be a part of this project even if you are out of Japan. (Considering? Let us help!)
And it's been 66 years since the mass murder by the nuclear weapon in Hiroshima. We pray -- but just a pray doesn't seem enough at all.
