Aeneas Wilder: Writings Iwate EarthQuake 2011: Diary of basic events in our area

Another day spent cataloguing the contents of various boxes of releif goods sent from all over Japan. Today was another day when a tour bus arrived at Towa Onsen with refugees from the coast - in this case Kamaishi. The refugees are able to take an onsen bath and relax a little before heading back to their refugee shelter. Naoko has organised a display area and along with her support workers, is able to offer the refugees the opportunity to take whatever they might need and we might have, back with them to their shelter. This system works very well, although it is important to have people there - seen oin the yellow jackets - to assure people that they can really take whatever, and how much ever, they need.
