Vietnam Women's Union

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for your warm messages and support to us. Your messages are of great encouragement to us and all victims of the disaster. I have translated your messages into Japanese and passed them on to the Fudanren affiliates.

We did not have such a big damage at the Fudanren office in Tokyo, the damage caused by earthquakes and subsequent tsunami is so horrible in northern part of Japan. All buildings were swept away. Thousands of bodies are found every day. The number of those dead and are missing is expected to be more than 20,000. The evacuees have increased more than 350,000. They are forced to stay at shelters with not enough food, water, cloths, oil for heaters and gas for cars, etc.

In addition to that, the frightening accident of Fukushima power plants is threatening the safety of people and their uneasiness is growing.

The Fudanren and affiliates orgs, helping each other, have called on the people around them to donate to help the victimized people and areas and will send necessary goods to the victims.

Thank you for your warm solidarity again.

Sincerely,

Yuri HORIE,

Fudanren
