Message from Japan's D2530 Governor Hiroji Ohashi
In response to Governor Prasad's offer to provide assistance to the Japanese people, District Governor Hiroji Ohashi thanks Rotarians worldwide for their offers of support. Fukushima, one of the hardest hit areas by the recent tsunami in Japan , is part of District 2530:
Dear our Friends, Rotarians in District 7890, in the world,
Thank you very much for your stimulating offer for help. Although we had the tragic disaster we have never experienced, we are doing the best for everything we can do. This crisis gives us a great sorrow. We have no words affected by the earthquake and tsunami. Many people suffered this disaster, died or lost their house. It was a grievous disaster. We all are in deeply sorrow. We prepared for the earthquake and tsunami because of living in Japan. But It was a larger than our expectation. It was far too big to prevent tsunami. It was a dreadful. It is like the hell near the seaside area after it happened.
We (D2530) are now in a big fear that is the problem of the nuclear power plants. One of Rotarian who is one of Assistant Governor in 10-11 our District is working on the front line to relieve our mind and go back to normal the nuclear energy. We all trust him and pay one's respects to him. He said, "I MUST DO IT." " I AM A ROTARIAN!". This crisis teaches us important things again. Those are water, electricity, gas, petrol..and helping each other, LOVE, the strength of human beings. We pray it the serious case will be safe.
Thanks, Thanks so much for Rotary friendship. Bonds of Rotary friendship.
With love to Rotarians ,
D2530 Governor, Hiroji OhashiDistrict Governor
