As our Convoy of Hope disaster responders rode the train in Tokyo, their translator was amazed at how eerily quiet the city seemed. Fears are mounting as the nuclear crisis drags on and radiation levels in the atmosphere, food and water supplies continue to rise. Numerous aftershocks are causing people to ask, “What is going to happen next?”

Amid the confusion and shock, Convoy of Hope disaster responders are meeting with our partners in the country to develop a response plan for the weeks and months ahead.
“The needs that arise in disasters of this magnitude evolve as time passes,” says Paul Coroleuski, field services director for Convoy of Hope. “We have to proactively anticipate what people will need down the road so we can get it on inbound shipments.”
A high school teacher in Tokyo who spoke to our team expressed gratitude for the help coming from Convoy of Hope and other international organizations. “A lot of people are still waiting for help,” he says.
Convoy of Hope is committed to helping those who have lost so much find hope.
