3.11. We have to pick ourselves up from the unbelievable and historic disaster of 3.11. It is us, citizens, who are fulfilling the most crucial role. Since the other big earthquake we experienced in Kobe in 1995, various activities initiated by citizen groups themselves have begun. Many activities where citizens support citizens include not only those related to directly to the disaster but also those for supporting certain people who cannot be supported enough by the government’s public services. Among those activities, NPOs are playing essential roles since each has particular specialties
Support for stricken areas is progressing though we also have problems caused by the nuclear plants’ troubles. For example, there are many evacuation sites where the victims and the relief workers are living and encouraging one another. They are supported by the government’s large scale relief programs. However, behind major support systems, there are certain people who need special cars and cannot be helped enough by general support systems. They are, for example, foreigners, handicapped people, mental disease suffers etc. These people are deeply hurt but without support by any safety net.
The Kyoto Foundation for Positive Social Change has established a union of NPOs that can support people who might otherwise be overlooked. More and more people in Japan have started to raise funds for us. However, considering how big and serious the disaster is and how much relief work is needed, the funds have not been nearly enough. Distributing funds through the Red Cross is one process; even though the funds are going to be distributed to each stricken area and local government, certain vulnerable types of people will not receive the help they need.
Please contribute to help us support the people who are in danger of being overlooked.
