They were always on the forefront of aid efforts when other countries fall to disasters and calamities. Now it's their turn to need our aid. The horrific earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan destroyed so many lives and properties that, seeing the footages of the destruction, one cannot help but feel a deep sympathy.
Japan maybe one of the world's economic powerhouses, but they are reeling right now from the natural calamity that has fallen on them last Friday. The world watch as they dig for bodies under tons of rubbles, search for survivors amidst cars, planes and ships strewn everywhere like a child's discarded toys. Makes one feel that indeed, nature is a powerful equalizer. Rich country or poor country -- all look the same when trampled by a deadly wave and shaken by a violent earthquake. It's in times like these that we share our global commonality, times that we realize we feel as they do, and that as humans we belong to one great community known as mankind.
It's times like these that we have it in our powers to help. Reach out and help. Here are some ways to help:
- Text REDCROSS to 90999 to donate to the American Red Cross for Japan Earthquake Relief.
- Join the American Red Cross Causes on Facebook.
- Donate to Doctors Without Borders
- Donate to Mercy Corps
Beyond financial aid, do you know you can also help through the simple power of prayer?
With Japan on our minds, here is the Amber Black Japanese Akoya Pearl Pendant. It's a special gift to give a loved one, and made more meaningful because this black pearl is Akoya-cultured. Akoya pearl cultivation originated in Japan, a technique that now has spread to China, producing these popular pearls known for their high luster and nearly unblemished surface perfection. The black pearl looks as mysterious as its origins, and the two interlocking hearts in silver is the perfect foil for this stunning pearl jewelry.
