過去の意見の違いや論争に関わらず、韓国のほとんどの人たちは日本のことで大変心を痛めています。原子力発電所で危機回避のために闘っている人々に　力と勇気と必要な技が与えられるように願い、神に祈っています。

Despite past differences and disputes, most people here in South Korea feel very badly for Japan; I hope and pray to God that the heroes who are fighting to control the nuclear plants will have the strength, courage and skill needed to manage the situation and bring it under control.

Hi! You are in Japan, I’m somewhere else…. But that doesn’t matter – we are together, your pain is our pain….. we send you our love and support, we believe – everything will be ok. Can you hear us, guys? EVERYTHING WILL BE OK. You are very strong and brave people, you are very calm and self-possessed people – you don’t waste your time for all those public hysterics (what, unfortunately, other people often do…). We pray for you.. Keep in touch!! Ganbare!!

You are an amazing and strong people and I know that, in time you will recover totally. Stay true to who you are and know that we, in the rest of the world, are thinking of you every day and amazed at your strength and resilience. Ganbare!

I’d like to pass on this old irish blessing. Maybe it will help you in these tough times:

“When the road you walk is dark
May you always hear
Even in your hour of sorrow
The gentle singing of the lark
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone
May you always remember
when the shadows fall
That you do not walk alone”

You are in our thoughts.
Niamh, Germany

NEVER GIVE UP, KEEP YOUR HEADS UP HIGH. OUR THOUGHTS AND COMPASSION AND SYMPATHY ARE WITH YOU IN THESE MOMENTS. RISE AGAIN AND MOVE FORWARD. WE ADMIRE YOUR STRENGH! GANBARE!!!!

Praying so hard. This helped me when I needed hope so I hope it helps someone else.
If you can look at the sunset and smile,
then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of a small
flower, then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of
a butterfly, then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,
then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,
then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull
you to sleep, then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop
and stare in wonder, then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant
under your fingertips, then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement
and optimism, then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others
that have touched your life, then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings
a pleasant surprise, then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration, then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that
it must end, then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and
reflection, then you still have hope.

If you still buy the ornaments, put up the Christmas
tree or cook the turkey, then you still have hope.

If you still watch love stories or want the endings
to be happy, then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile,
then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told everything
is futile, you can still look up and end the conversation
with the phrase….”yeah….BUT..” then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides, but rarely does it break. It sustains us when nothing else can. It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead, when we tell ourselves we’d rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot
manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot
see it.

Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused
of the direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished
and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return.
And it can be found in each of us, and it can bring light
into the darkest of places. Never lose hope

Dear Japanese friends… there are no words which could describe how much I wish I could do something for you… but being so far away from you I just sit and pray for you to have enough strength to get everything back to normal…

I visited Japan a few years ago and I have so much respect for the Japanese. Our thoughts and are with you.

I teach Korean students from my home in Canada. We are all rooting for you and know that you are strong!

Just to tell you that it is so hard to sit and not to be able to do anything. With these few phrases I can just show my compassion.
Ganbaré -Ganbaré, but this is easy to say and it must be quite difficult in this situation.
I send you these few words of compassion from a Paris suburb.

I have had many adult students from Japan studying English with me in my home here on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, and including several teachers. My thoughts and prayers are very much with you all at this difficult time. My heart is with you and my prayers daily for you. May you know God’s strength when you feel weak, and his comfort when you feel low in spirit.

Ganbare Japan ! You’ve always proved so strong in adversity, may all our loving forces be with you to face this terrible moments you are in. Teachers from my French school and I send you all the best thoughts and cry with you for the losses.

many many wishes from Germany

May God bless you with better times. I’m impressed by the strenght and value you’re showing the world in such a sad moment.

From Argentine to Japan, all my strength and hope for a new beginning.
My best wishes with wings are for you.

It is very difficult to say words when you know that people need personal support , you know you are not alone and when time pass, some of those people maybe will survive and will try to go on. I pray God and ask him to give you faith in future and faith in God himself. Take care, a big hug from all the peruvian country.

I’m an English teacher from Spain. I always ask my pupils what news they want to share with their classmates, and for the last few days all they want to talk about is how impressed they are with the earthquake and the tsunami in Japan, and the risk of nuclear power stations and all the consequences.
We have also talked about how disciplined and well behaved Japanese people are, we really admire you, you are a great example to the rest of the world.
I wish you a quick recovery.Ganbaré! がんばれ！

回復への望を失わず、頑張れ！

I’m a Japanese teacher who lives in a safe area of Japan. When the whole country is covered with sadness, it is so encouraging to know that we are supported by all of you.

I’m sending things and donating money to the suffered people, but I’d love to help you send these messages to them too.
