The earthquake that hit Japan was a week ago, but the people of Japan are still feeling the effects of the quake and are facing very serious problems, especially regarding a potential leak of radiation. Workers are working in unsafe conditions to try to prevent a catastrophic leak. The costs of repairing the many aspects of life and things that have been destroyed are still mounting and it might seem like there is nothing that we can do to help.
You can help! You can donate money to help Japan through the Red Cross's website. A donation will support disaster relief efforts in Japan. You can go to the Red Cross's home page http://www.redcross.org to read about some bits of good news coming out of Japan as people get in contact with loved ones. Then you can click the Donate button to make a contribution. I did this morning and it didn't take much of my time to contribute to the relief effort. I encourage you to consider doing something to help too!
