It is now three years since the Great East Japan Earthquake overpowered Japan on March 11, 2011. Yet large areas remain devastated, and unexpected new problems are emerging. Many people continue to mourn the loss of loved ones. Many still live in temporary housing, or can never return to their homes. Many remain traumatized, living in fear of an uncertain future. At times the situation seems overwhelming… But on this day, let us gather once more and remind ourselves, “Do not forget these stricken areas or these people.” Let us pray again for the many souls who were lost in the earthquake or who suffered from the subsequent hardships. During this third memorial event, we will see and hear video letters from people in the affected areas. We will reflect on their lives and send them our prayers. Our message is, “We have not forgotten you. Together we will overcome these obstacles and help Japan recover.”
– SIDE BY SIDE – Let us join our hearts TOGETHER!
