Open Street Map

Someone saw my article in the Evening Post and sent me an email with this incredible open-source posting site. 

This is an open source site to post information in the affected region. There are so many postings; what kind of volunteers are needed, what is short, etc. They are so raw and powerful.

Unfortunately they are all in Japanese.

In Miyagi area there are 5840 postings. In Fukushima there are 1977....

School visits

We have made very successful school visits around Nottingham, UK.

The purpose of school visits is to talk about Japan, what happened on 11th March 2011 at 2:46 pm and what is happening now.  The total number of audience have already reached 1100 aged between 7 and 16.  Thank you for the school teachers and head maters/mistresses, who share my vision.

I am about to leave for another school in Leicester, UK, to talk to Year 8.

Thank you for your continuous support.
