You should know that things will only get better and this will make you stronger. Your truley a strong and couraguse person.

こんにちは, or hello in english. I've heard about the earthquake in Japan, sorry to bring up the subject. All I hope for is, well, 願って, or hope in english.I know there has also been a tsunami, volcanic eruption, and nuclear explosion, sorry for bringing up these subjects. All I hope for is 幸福 (well being), and 幸せ (happiness) for you and your friends, loved ones, and all the others. I hope, and always will hope, for happiness once more among Japan.
ReplyDeleteI hope the best for you,
Sincerely, Chemar Bennett
P.S. I do not speak Japanese, and Japan is my favorite country.
Hello Japanese students and otherwise. I’m not going to lie to you; I am not volunteering to write you this letter. If it weren’t for our caring teachers, you wouldn’t be hearing from me. However, this is not because I am uncaring or mean. I really do worry about you, and pity you. I would not volunteer to write this because I don’t understand your pain. I’ve tried time and time again, comparing it to emotional or physical pain, but the pain of loss and that terrible fear of the unknown are far beyond anything I have ever experienced.
ReplyDeleteRemember, even through that pain, that this too shall pass. You are still alive, are you not? Even if your home is destroyed, or your loved ones are hurt or worse, there will be light through every dark. Without rain, there is no rainbow, and without a shadow of a doubt, you will survive. Japan will survive. Never forget this, and never forget the things you have lost. I can’t tell you that Canada cares about you, and we will help, but I can tell you that I care. I hope these words will reach you and sooth your worried souls, and that hope will stay in your hearts, and conquer over all other negative feelings, your Canadian friend,
Nell Sommerville.
P.S. To all those who think that these stupid letters can’t mend your broken hearts, or reconstruct your demolished country, when I was broken, feeling worse than I had ever felt before, letters and kind words helped me through the dark.
Dear students of Japan,
ReplyDeleteI am a student in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I attend Windfields JHS. I know about the tsunami and earthquake that occurred. I feel so bad about it. If you didn’t know, they say that things occur for better or worse. This is definitely for better. In a while, there will be new schools, houses, and buildings built all over. They will surely be better than the last. The construction workers will probably make the buildings so that they are stronger against an earthquake/tsunami. I’m sorry if one of your family members is lost. They will always remain in your hearts.
Always remember that everything will get better. The buildings will be reconstructed. You will always have a loving friend or family member along the way.
Sincerely,
Susan Tang
Japan,
ReplyDeleteI am really sorry about the earthquake and all of the after shock. But the thing that I'm most sorry about, is all the damage it caused. I've seen a lot of the damage online and I can't imagine how much trouble it is for you and how you're living with the drastic changes. I hope that most things can be fixed soon and everything can go back to normal.

Dear population of Japan,
ReplyDeleteI feel very bad for what happened to you and I hope you rebuild as quickly as possible.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose my home, and possibly everyone I ever knew, only to be swept away in a shocked, confused crowd. Twice. It must be awful.
I hope you rebuild as soon as possible and get lots of help. I for the best for you all.
STAY STRONG!

Dear Japanese Middle School,
ReplyDeleteI am a student from Windfields JHS- a school in Toronto, Canada. I am not the only one sending a hope letter- there are many more students in my school who care just as much as I do about the tragedy your country has experienced.
I have recently viewed the disastrous images of the earthquake that has happened in your country. I must say, I am terribly sorry. I can't imagine what you all must be going through- having to loose your home and possibly your family. But I feel even worse for reminding you but I just want to let you all know how deeply sorry my school and country is.
My school has been taking part in some activities to donate to your incredible country to show how much we all care. Please note that I have tried to convince my friends to donate along with me because I would feel awful if that tragedy happened to my country.
But unfortunately, none of us are perfect and awful things can happen, but just remember that you are not alone. Tons of schools around our country have also been donating to help, even some celebrities too. I have faith that good things will happen soon. Always try to think on the bright side. Sure, it may not look so well now, and I’m extremely sorry for your loss, but please trust me when I say that things will get better. Never stop believing.
Please stay safe, I wish your school and your family the best of luck.
Danah K, class 76.

Dear students of Japan,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Meghan. I live in Canada.It is so sad to imagine what you are going through. Every thing you are going through so far has been very awful. The earthquake was by far the biggest you have ever had. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be in your situation. But things will get better with time. Most of the world is trying to donate money to help you rebuild your homes. I wish you the best. You have a great country!

Dear Japan,
ReplyDeleteI’m Astrid from Windfeilds Junior high school. We are writing letters to you because we feel terrible about the big devastation that happened in your country. I'm so sorry for the disaster that happened in your country. It's not fair and I hope you are all safe. Things will get better so don't worry.
I am really sorry this happened to you i hope you guys stay safe. I hope you guys can still get a proper education and stay safe with your family, get food and shelter and also still live normally. We are really tiring to help you and we really care about your country’s disaster, Canada had donated millions of dollars to wards this cause and we really hope it helps. I’ve also donated because I can see you guys are struggling with this.
But you guys are really strong for getting through this and really strong for dealing with it. I hope you can still maintain the life you hade before. There will be a bright side and everything happens for a reason so you will find the good side .
Soon everything will be alright and it won’t be that bad anymore. I have the best wishes to your country and to you. You guys will rebuild things soon and it will be like nothing ever happened. Your education will come right back and so will your parent’s jobs. Things like this come and go so you will be safe and sound in no time.
Hope everything is gonna be ok
Dear Japanese Junior High School,
ReplyDeleteI am a student from a different school in Toronto, Canada. I have viewed the pictures, seen the videos and read the reports about the disasters which happened in your country but I can’t imagine what you are going through. I am devastated about this news. I am sorry about these horrible events that have occurred. I feel very lucky to be in a country that is so safe and hope that you and your family or friends may forever be safe after this awful occurrence.
I wish I could do more to help. But I don’t have much money and I guess my words are all that I can give. I would like to reassure you and tell you that everyone here in Canada and the United States and most likely many other countries are trying to help you and your friends or family. Many people are donating their money to help you get water and food and rebuild. Children like myself and my classmates are sending out letters and we are all trying to help out and bring hope into your country.
Hopefully, this disaster will be behind us soon. Well I’m just simply trying to tell you to never give up. Never lose hope. There will always be someone there ready to help you, whether you can see them or not. But remember, never lose your hope and try to be brave, even when crazy things get thrown at you.
As I said, I really wish I could be of more help to you. But hopefully this letter of hope will help you keep on going and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Maria G.

Dear Japan,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard about the 9.0 earthquake that happened I was so shocked. Then the tsunami!!! I can just imagine what people in JApan are going through,having no water,food and even no shelter.I wonder what you said to yourselves when one day you go somewhere and when you come back all you see are pieces of broken things?I have friends that have been in Japan before this devastating thing and they said Japan is so pretty. I really believe that is true. I know this is a hard time for you Japan but I think that you are strong and you will go through this. I know this will be hard to forget. I hope all the best to you Japan and your famillies.
Sincerely,
Your friend from Windfields

It must be so hard for you to go through all of this at such a young age, but one day you will be proud of yourself for making it. Never stop trying and always have hope. You should know that everybody here is praying for your country and that we wish you all the best. I hope for you to continue your studies soon.
