So, the news has just hit the wires that the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear plant has indeed experienced a third explosion today, all stemming from the damage inflicted by the earthquake last week. As a result, the damage is compounded and the suffering exponentially expanded, not to mention the headaches that continue to tumble for those who must care for the injured even as they begin to think about how to contain the damage.
Some of the parishioners were asking just yesterday how they could send funds to help with the rescue efforts that are currently underway. Normally the Catholic Church here in Canada does such outreach through Development and Peace, the outreach arm of the Canadian Bishops, however D&P does not currently operate in Japan, although they most certainly are aware of other groups such as CARE Canada, Save the Children, the Canadian Red Cross and Doctors without Borders, all of whom seem to have established presences in that Pacific island nation. More information about Japan relief is available through CBC and other media outlets.
