3/11 Japan Earth Quake News#9 Donate

A credit card transaction or a registration harldy takes any time, 

it takes more for you to decide if you wanna contribute to the act

its means lot more for those rescue organizations trying to help

and for those suffering out there, all they can do is 'HOPE' 

The official advice is not to move from the area you are currently in. Until things are considered more stable, it is suggested that you stay local to your house, so as not to overcrowd transportation and disaster relief routes. Heading to the afflicted area will only crowd the situation, putting more pressure on the limited resources they currently have. For the time being, money donations are considered to be the best way you can help.
