    Mar 16 2011: And I was thinking of what I can do this earthquake disaster as I'm involved in TEDx... as TEDxer.
    Then I choose to spread hopes to disaster victims to find themselves in hope with my friends from TEDxTokyo yz.

    So let me introduce our activities, "HOPE", this try to make a positive feedback by spreading hopes.
    1. "spreading hopes"
    2. "changing mind"
    3. "doing action for the future"
    1. "spreading hopes"... and then 2 and 3...

    Mar 16 2011: Thank all of you for care and concern.

    I think there are 3 stage when disaster are happened and now is the stage between "rescue" and "set up lifeline".
    1) rescue
    2) setup lifeline
    3) volunteer activities


    At this stage, I think only people like us who are not specialists of rescue and disaster control can do is:
    1) to donate though reliable organization
    2) to make a blood donation
    3) to share information / messages


    The following is announced by government and on the net:
    - not to send supplies personally.
    This cause unnecessary confusion of distribution system on site.
    Only corporate which are considerable to send bunch of supplies are allowed to send them.

    - not to go on site to do volunteer now.
    Only NPO/NGO volunteers are accepted current stage.
    If personal volunteer goes there, extra foods, essential goods, place to stay etc. will be needed to prepare for them. Now these should send to disaster victims top priority.

    - not to send/retweet unreliable messages.
