Three months ago on Saturday, a deadly earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan killed more than 14,700 people, leaving the country’s northeastern coastline devastated. Our colleagues in Japan have spent the weeks and months following the disaster organizing and implementing a full response plan, supported by the World Vision global partnership<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As part of an international initiative to encourage quake survivors and those involved in relief efforts, children around the world who are supported by World Vision sponsors<\/a> in Japan send their love and prayers. Children and sponsors in Japan’s tsunami zone have since received drawings, cards, and origami art messages from sponsored children in El Salvador, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Mongolia, Kenya, China, and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

This post is a collection of those messages, gathered with the help of World Vision field communicators in each of the above countries.<\/p>\n

To our colleagues and those affected by the disaster in Japan<\/a> — we continue to pray that God’s comfort and provision would be with those who need it most, and that survivors will continue to heal physically and emotionally as they rebuild from the rubble.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
