The first thing I did was call and email my friends living in Japan, some of them weren't replying which made me quite worried for them. At last I found out they were ok. I can imagine other peoples families are feeling it 10x more.
We all feel as though we want to go there and help them, but we're so far, and helpless. So we should support the people that do have the resources to help.
I've been browsing the web and these are pleas from people around the world...
