| Your Help is Needed |
On March 11, a massive 9.0 earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean in Northeastern Japan near the city of Sendai, causing widespread damage and generated a powerful tsunami which further devastated Japan. The 30-foot tsunami damaged several nuclear reactors in the area, causing the country's worst crisis since World War II. The devastation is so widespread, it is not known how many were killed…latest estimates of up to 10,000 are feared dead. One thing is known, the needs of this area are enormous.
Your help is needed! Thousands of people, many of which are young children, are without homes, food, electricity and clean drinking water.
