Last year, Japan suffered a devastating quake and tsunami. The tsunami reached as high as 133 feet,traveled up to six miles inland, destroyed or damaged over 270,000 buildings, and at one time leaving as much as 396,739 people homeless. 3,824 people are still missing, while 15,824 people died. March 11 marks the one year anniversary of this tragic event. Although all this devastation is bleak, there is still hope among the survivors. Big and small contributions from people around the world gave love & courage to Japan as they rebuild little by little. Much progress has been made, but much more needs to be done. New hope is growing everyday.
