"It is the greatest disaster in Japan since the second World War" said Naoto Kan, the Prime Minister of Japan, Friday. Everyone has seen images of the tsunami in Japan on television. Thousands have died because of the tsunami and this morning, they found over two thousand bodies at the coast of Japan. The residents are still waiting about what is going to happen next.
Organizations in Japan are trying to help the victims by collecting money for the Red Cross. The Groupon Company in Japan started a special donation page where people from all over the world can donate money for the victims of the tsunami. Google helps in another way by launching a ‘crisis response webpage’ where people can see where the disaster areas are, can read the latest news about the tsunami and can search for missing persons. Google and Groupon set a great example for all other countries how to help Japan. But how could other organizations help the victims? On Twitter the tsunami is a trending topic and on YouTube the videos are the most viewed by visitors. Why not use this information to help the victims? I think the more we support the victims in Japan, the more we get connected and together we could make the difference. Donate by sending a Tweet, posting a wall message or share your videos at YouTube. The possibilities are endless so why not starting right now?
