Shichigahama Relief Center

The Shichigahama Soccer Stadium was converted in to a relief center.   The food / concession area was converted to the photo and document clean up area.  Volunteers delivered photos and documents here when found in the debris fields.   The tsunami survivors said that searching for the family photos and documents was one of the most important daily tasks for them.

Mitch, the first hand photos make the experience so much closer to home. Thank you. And thank you for helping.
