SAGAMIHARA, Kanagawa Pref. — A group of Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans living in Kanagawa Prefecture has been providing warm bowls of Bangladesh curry since Monday to quake and tsunami survivors in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture.
"Everything was in ruins. A car was on top of a three-story building. Another was literally twisted. A big fishing vessel was in the center of the city. It's really beyond description," Saber Sakura, who organized the 25-member group, said of what he witnessed in the destroyed city.
"If the tsunami hadn't hit, I think only 10 or 15 percent of the buildings would have been damaged," the 47-year-old Sakura said Wednesday back in his office in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture.
