I’m not doing a normal World Wide Wednesday today. As I’m sure you all are aware, Japan was devastated by a tsunami at the end of last week. This isn’t fantasy related, but I felt compelled to share a few links with you in support of our friends in Japan. This is list of a few pages that contain a collection of links to organizations assisting with rescue and relief in Japan. It didn’t seem like that long ago when I watched the coast of my wife’s home country of Thailand get smashed to bits in a similar fashion. The world reacted quickly and with an unprecedented amount of love and kindness. I can only hope that once again we as people on this planet can come together and help a neighbor in their time of great need. Sorry for the bummer article….

1) Survivingjapan.com: This site contains a comprehensive list of organizations that are poised to help the most in Japan. Go here.

A couple of links not listed on the above page that looked worthy of mentioning:

2) Save the Children: A worthy organization already mobilizing and assisting in Japan.

3) Americares: I really don’t know much about this organization but I like what they have to say. They do not seem to be fully set up yet, but are close.

4) Japan Earthquake: before and after: A little perspective on the extensive damage.

This picture says everything….
