Japan's Children of Tsunami's - We Need To Help.

The tragedy that has shaken and swept over Japan after their record-breaking earthquake followed by an enormous, and life-taking tsunami made me not only wonder about the children of such devestation, but to also wonder about previous children and how they dealt with similiar tragedies.
 
I discovered an amazing website called 'Children of Tsunami'. Please Visit it. When you do, you will understand how important it is to help. Here are a list of good organizations that do make a difference, and will help provide aid for the people of Japan.
