Tohoku Aftermath, 3 months on
I ran across this article yesterday and felt it was worthy to post. It really captures just how overwhelming the situation is in N.E. Japan is and just how impotent the aid and relief to this point has been. I would hope that after reading it, that you would be moved to fast with us […]
We Won’t Eat, Period
Read our lips, WE WON'T EAT, PERIOD. OK, we have been fasting now for one week. I have lost 7 kilograms and Bernie has last 5. That means that we will be fasting for 33 more days unless our friends and supporters pony up $25,000 US for our brothers and sisters in Tohoku. So far, […]
Our pathetic world
I saw this ad on facebook when I opened it up this morning. Though I know they are talking about other crisis, the timing was so ill placed… I know that right now people are taking their windfall here in Japan. Like the produce wholesaler who we approached to provide fresh vegetables for the survivors […]
Shoes!
Talking to one of my friends last night, Chuck, who helped us get together aid packages for the survivors in Tohoku and even drove the truck up when my schedule was a problem. It brought to mind these two fellahs to the left here, and I hunted up a picture of them. Chuck is a […]
Empty buckets…
As patience wears thin, despondency sets in, and angers begin to flare among the survivors of the Tohoku tsunami in Japan, they are wondering where their help is. It should be a wake up call to us all to take a step back and consider in what and in whom we place our trust. We […]
Apathy
Everyday I am traveling to and fro about Japan for meetings, research, deliveries etc. and in such I meet a lot of people. Lately, I have just been appalled at the lack of concern shown when the subject of the aftermath of the tsunami in Tohoku comes up. Just being caught up in ones own […]

The 7th truck full of food and supplies will be leaving on May 30th at 7pm! If you have you food donations that you would like to donate or forgot to get to us please feel free to drop it off at the Fushimi momoyama center or send it to us at […]
A life is worth what?
Good morning! Another day without the distraction of food tantalizing my senses ; ) So, I was driving to work this morning as I usually do, morning rush, always crazy, cars dodging in and out on the supposedly quaint but unreasonably narrow streets here in Kyoto. Streets that are famously narrow with of all things, […]
We are all in this together
Kozmoz Japan Director, Barry Wyatt, and Tohoku aid supporter Bernie M. have committed to know just how it feels to go hungry. They will be fasting and giving up eating solid food until Kozmoz receives $25000 dollars in additional donations or 40 days, whichever comes first, starting from June 13th to help the victims of […]
Here we go!
OK! Here we go. I still think this was a great idea though Bern was dragging his feet a bit ; ) WE WILL SUCCEED in our quest. And that is to renew interest in the ongoing tragedy in NE Japan! In the meantime, Bern and I will be giving up solid food for 40 […]
