reactions - reaktionen

there are others whom i know who wrote about their experiences with the quake and all that happened after.
frauke is the current german volunteer in ari, so we spent the last days before the quake together (as i stayed in ari) and she left ari (and later japan) shortly after me, even though she did not want to. her account is under http://fraukesfsj.wordpress.com/

and fuji is another former ari-volunteer, like me, but unlike me he studied in japan afterwards and was (or is?) about to start working in ari as a staff member. his blog is one of the most interesting collcetions of thoughts about japan, germany, faith, art and other things, and he also wrote about the quake now - which he did not expericne just as directly, since he was in kyoto at the time. http://www.fujishimaitsuo.de/2011/03/21/zwischen-panik-und-alltag/

there's also more reports about the situation on the homepage of EFARI, the european friends of ARI, under www.efari.org

and more on http://www.friends-ari.org/ about how ari looks like and what people there are doing to deal with their own lives and help those coming from fukushima now.
