Subject: </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="gi">Help for Japan</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: courier new,monospace;">Dear
Lowlanners,</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">having
been absent from the list for a time doesn't mean to be absent from the world
around me.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I've
read the postings of our member Yasuji-san, and I asked him how we could help.
Of course I didn't get an answer - his problems are not the list, at the
moment.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Help!
How can WE help?</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If
(and I just say: IF!) the radioactive contamination of settled regions in Japan
should progress the WHOLE WORLD must help - whithin days!!</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In
special young people MUST leave the Japanese islands, let me say, for around
half a year. They MUST escape from the first, heavy radio activity
which might fall out - escape asap!!!!</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">In Germany we have
done so some 20 years ago (and later) with children of Tschernobyl (much too
late!).</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So,
my suggestion:</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">LL-L
is a worldwide community of openminded people. I guess a lot of them is able
and willing to host a young boy or girl for some months. These could be
millions - being the future of Japan.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
shall offer my house to them; this evening I'll try to get in contact with the
consulate general of Japan
in Hamburg, and furtheron I'll try to
get the governor of Lower Saxony (there
are some good familiar and political relations) into the boat.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">My
ex-wife and my son (16) agreed that they would appreciate a Japanese
youngster between 12 and 18 in our family.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">But
- we have to avoid bureaucracy, we have to ship around it, as well in Japan
as in our homelands. It could be very, very urgent!</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Though
money for the international organizations is necessary - please try
precautionally to establish something else in your hemisphere. </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thanks!</span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>

<br>
Thank you for that, dear Jonny.<br>
<br>
I have started a thread in this vein on Facebook, and hopefully people will pass
it on.<br>
<br>
In the meantime I can report that I have also heard from our friend Tomoki Minohara
(<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/minohara-en.php">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/minohara-en.php</a>) and am happy to report that
he is all right.<br>
<br>
