John M. Glionna wrote the article "Japan quake and tsunami propel charity focused on orphan care," found on the Los Angeles Times website. After almost 45 years of aiding grieving children, Yoshiomi Tamai excels at responding to a crisis. Since it began helping kids left parentless, his Ashinaga charity has supported more than 80,000 orphans. Japan's natural disaster was only hours old when the Tokyo based charity got on the line with the old man. The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami was rising into the thousands. Parents along the nation's northeast coast had been swept away by the surging water, leaving behind confused and vulnerable orphans. While Japanese government officials debated a response that would take weeks to deliver, the charity was in motion within hours, providing food, clothing and emotional aid. Although it does not help place parentless children in homes, it assists with both their immediate and long-term needs.
This charity is working on an incredible project by helping so many orphans in Japan and throughout the world. During a time of crisis children are the ones who are mostly effected even though people may not necessarily concentrate of them that much. They are the ones who are hurt the most and their losses are irreplaceable, but thanks to this charity they do not lose hope and gain potential to move forward. People like Mr. Tamai should be honored for their caring job because not everyone is capable of taking care of children who have lost a big part of their life, their parents.
