Is there any way i could get over to Japan to help with the disaster?

Question:

I was reading the newspaper this morning and it hurts to even see people so desperate, I would love to go over with a charity to help support them. How do i go about this?

Answer:

I'm not sure what Habitat is doing specifically for this disaster, but you might be able to join a group helping in Japan. Here's a link to get you started: https://www.habitat.org/intl/ap/103.aspx…

But, it's true that if you don't speak Japanese, and don't have specific skills, you might be more in the way than helpful. There are things you can do at home. Have a bake sale or flea market, or just a straight donation drive to raise money for the area. Most of the charities I know about are donating through the Japanese Red Cross. http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/

Good luck! It's nice to know there are good people out in the world . . . .
