Hear the voice from those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that hit the country on March 11, 2011. These are translations of texts mostly from twitter--I do this simply because I want to let people around the world know about what those affected are going through now, what they need, what they are saying. I want the audience to think what they could do to help in any way possible.

Not sure if I could restore my seaweed farm, which costs lots of money
(By Mr. Manemon Kikuchi, an evacuee at Watari High School, Watari-Cho, Miyagi Pref.)
I was operating seaweed farm. When I went back to the shop after the tsunami, there was nothing left: seaweed factory and my house. One of the workers at the factory is still missing. I am overwhelmed and don’t know if I can restore the business; it would require a big money.

We underestimated the tsunami, now everything is washed away
We never experienced a big tsunami in this Arahama district. We had some small ones, and even when Sanriku Coast was hit by the massive tsunami caused by Chili Earthquake long time ago, we had very minor damages. We never learned the lesson; when we heard of the tsunami warning, we underestimated it. Now everything was washed away and nothing is left, even a column of the house.
