I saw the news on TV and other medias about the 7-magnitude earthquake struck the Sichuan province in China on 20th April.
It’s a terrible situation, a lot of people still afraid of aftershocks and await water and food. 
I've been to Chengdu（成都） the capital city of Sichuan province（四川省） twice. That place is so beautiful area with depth green and homeland of Giant Panda. So I really hope that all victims should be rescued as early as possible. However, I'm afraid that Chinese government declined offers for support from the international community.

Hope for Haiti

I was deeply moved by the charity conceret for Haiti held by great and world's famous musicians like Madonna, Stevie Wonder and others in the US just recently. This image, taken in sometime last October, is to be dedicated to all of supporters to Haiti and all victims. Another dedication can be seen in my photostream of flickr.

最近、アメリカでマドンナをはじめとするトップ・アーティストが開催したハイチ地震へのチャリティー・コンサートに感動しました。
この写真をハイチを支援するすべての人々と被災者に捧げます。
