台灣區的Dada Karunamaya已抵達日本參與賑災工作。以下是他傳回來的報告。

今 天我與Dada Ganadevananda 碰面，他是目前阿南達瑪迦泛宇救難隊在當地賑災的主要負責人。Dada與其他的志工已經在災區工作了三天，主要服務地點在仙台市、仙台機場，多賀城，並試 圖去MinamiSanriku，這個地方據報有11,000人失踪，超過5,000人在等待為軍隊的救援。此外，他們還訪視了一些主要的收容所和當地政 府。 

目前，政府尚未允許任何的民間救難組織進入重災區，所以，我們不得不等待，並且不斷上網搜集資料。 我們目前已回到長野的瑜伽屋，進行更周詳的計劃和準備，以待再次的北上。明天尚有一位Didi和Dada將加入我們服務的行列。

 
今天，我們已經找到一個很大的帳蓬和其他相關的物資，以利我們後續的賑災作業。我們將有幾天時間來準備一切，以達成以下的初期工作目標： 
1、幫助老人打掃家園；
2、幫助老人從收容所搬回自己的家園； 
3、對收容收的災民進行心理與諮詢的復建工作。

由於擔心可能的核污染，所以目前並沒有任何的巴士或火車可以從東京至重災區，也因此，我個人還沒有機會到重災區。 

因為阿南達瑪迦是一個非營利組織，政府允許我們能夠得到正常的汽油，但一般民戶眾只能取得配給量。在我們回長野的途中，加油站只給每部車5公升，但我們卻可以加滿汽油。

日本AMURT團隊非常感激所有台灣兄弟姐妹的支持與善意！

Today I have met with Dada Ganadevananda who is directly involved in the coordination of AMURT response in Japan. Dada and an other Margiis volunteer were in these affected areas for the last 3 days, that is: Sendai city, Natori -Sendai Airport, Tagajo - Kesennuma and also tried to visit MinamiSanriku where here 11.000 people are missing and more than 5000 people are waiting for the army to reach them. They also visited some refuges camps and contacting the local government.

At the moment we have to wait and check in a website until the government gives OK to every organization such as our to also do relief work. We have come now to Nagano Jagrti to plan and prepare everything before we head north again. An other Didi and Dada are going to join us tomorrow.

Today we have searched for a roof top carrier and other facilitates to allow us to bring the needed material for the relief work. We will have a few days to prepare everything for what we have planed to do as first steps, such as:
 1. We will help elderly people clean out their homes.
 2. We will help elderly people living in shelters move back to their homes.
 3. We will do psycho-social work (counseling) with people living in the shelters

I have not chance to visit the affected area yet... as there were no bus/train available from Tokyo due to possible nuclear pollution and rescue activities from the Japanese army.

As NPO (Non profit Organization) we are able to get normal gasoline, when to the general people only their provide a regulated amount of it.
On our way back to Nagano, a petrol station was only giving 5 Lt. per car, but we got full tank.

The Japan AMURT team appreciates very much the support and good will of all brothers and sisters in Taiwan!
