104.5 million yen...wow, sounds generous (?). Supposedly Japan is one of the world's biggest providers of emergency aid of this kind. You never hear about that in my country, apparently we're too busy focussing on our own generosity in these matters. *slaps own country on the wrist*

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
