A magnitude 9 earthquake and associated tsunami on March 11 2011 caused huge damages in the northeastern parts of Japan. Very Large aftershocks are continuously felt in the capital city Tokyo leaving most train and bus services non-operational. This was one of the greatest disasters to strike Japan. More than 26,000 people are dead or missing and 400,000 people are now surviving in rescue camps. Restoration process will take several years while the earthquake/tsunami survivors face the greatest tragedy of their lives.

It is a rare moment for the community to show our solidarity with the Japanese community and to do our best to reduce the pains of the affected families and their relatives.
