How to help
A massive 8.9/9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan at around 2:46pm on March 11 (JST) causing damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami.
What we all can do right now, however, is to help raise funds to support the relief organizations currently working in the affected areas, and the extensive reconstruction work that will follow.
