OPINION: Thoughts On The Recent Niigata Earthquake
By Mana KATO
I was at home, watching normal TV programs when a newsflash came onto the screen telling us about an earthquake. At first I wasn't surprised because earthquakes are common in Japan. But when I heard that the earthquake registed at level 6, I realised it was a big earthquake, with many after-shocks.
I was surprised and shocked. It is hard to secure life-lines when many buildings and the land are destroyed, so people's suffering continue after the disaster. Many groups are collecting donations to raise money to help the victims. We have collection boxes around the school. Please give generously to help those who have suffered from a terrible disaster.
