On March 11th, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit Japan. Minutes later a 23 foot high tsunami hit the Northeast coast of the country, wiping out entire towns in its wake. The images of the devastation are almost unbelievable.
It has been six months since the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. Over 20,000 people are confirmed dead or missing and tens of thousands are still in temporary housing. The search and rescue crews are all gone. Now the clean up and restoration are in full swing. It’s estimated that it will take 3 years to clean up the 25 million tons of debris and rubble left behind where buildings and homes once stood. Roads need to be rebuilt and power and water services need to be restored. People’s lives need to be pieced back together. The real work in Japan has only just begun.
That’s why we’ve chosen the Japanese Red Cross as our September Charity of the Month. A portion of all t-shirt sales in the month of September will go directly to this worthy organization.
