CRASH Japan is the relief organization Carol and I volunteered with as it was gearing up immediately following the tsunami, and we've been to the disaster area several times with CRASH.
When you consider how many tsunami survivors are elderly, and how many still have mortgages on homes that were destroyed, it's no surprise the number of people living in temporary housing has not declined. Many Christian organizations are intentionally connecting with these people to build relationships. If you're having trouble reading the numbers on the left, it's still around the 300,000 range.
