Caring For Japan Long After 2011


The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan have significantly affected the country in a number of different ways. In addition the devastating damage and tragedy that has shocked Japan is not too different from the 2009 earthquake in Haiti.

As the nation of Haiti tried to rebuild its demolished country they struggled to wind up the money needed to do so. As a result, multiple organizations were established for Haitian relief. However, many of the organizations were established right after the earthquake took place and have since then dwindled though the Haitian problems have not.

The question is, how can we prevent this from happening to Japan? With the organizations established, the goals need not be the immediate solution to a nations plight, but instead solutions that would have lasting effects. So instead of setting up quick “texting” organizations or events like that, we need to look further and focus on developing organizations that would have a bigger impact on the countries and truly prove to be of a progressive nature.
