Victims of the earthquake
Though three months have passed since the earthquake happened in Niigata, 3000 people are still forced to live in temporary housing. They have to live with a lot of difficulties because it is becoming winter. About 24% of them are elderly people who live alone or just only two people. Surely many people and companies are donating, but it is not enough for victims to return to the lives before the earthquake. When another earthquake happened in Niigata three years ago, people who lived in temporary housing suffered from much snow and cold. They had to remove the snow from the roofs of the houses. Many people especially elderly people had difficulties with this. I wish that a lot of volunteers help them this winter learning a lesson from the earthquake which happened three years ago.

We have to think about what we can do for Nigata people who troubled. And problem of earthquake is not another world issue. It may happen to us anytime. We can't prepare for this enough from now.
