Not until I bought your worthwhile book did I realise that the money would go into the coffers of Nihon Sekijuji. Unfortunately, given their less-than-open track record, that is where it could well stay, instead of reaching the victims themselves. Perhaps you could do a followup with them as to what it was actually used for to reassure me and others?
It pains me to see the Japanese Red Cross sitting on their backsides with the funds too. I will say this though:
1, When I chose a charity, one week after the quake, the Japanese Red Cross seemed the best choice.
2. I can’t reinvent the wheel. I’ve tried, doing DIY help with http://www.freetohoku.blogspot.com, for example. But it ain’t as easy as it looks.
3. There is another, potentially more valuable side to Quakebook, that is, it spreads awareness: it records this moment so that none can forget and allows the writers to express their feelings. These are all valid reasons to buy the book, no matter the Red Cross’s failings.
4. We will hold them accountable, and will not forget any injustices.
