CRASH base now in Hitachi

In Hitachi, CRASH Japan’s second hub for support and hope has been established. A core team left Tokyo on Friday, March 25, to set-up the new base-camp in Ibaraki. In line with the goal of helping churches share love and hope with their communities while meeting their practical needs, CRASH Japan is searching for potential base sites in each of the affected areas of Tohoku. Once a location has been chosen, a team is sent to set-up, prepare to receive volunteer teams and most importantly contact local churches to see how CRASH Japan can serve them.
“This is a nice, safe place,” said CRASH Japan Operations Manager Caleb Eby, about the new base site located just south of Fukushima. “The base-camp is outside of the worst hit areas, but is within traveling distance for volunteer teams. The base will be able to help the churches in the local communities, as well as people who have evacuated from Fukushima and those still in the stricken areas.” In order for these base-camps to reach the worst affected areas CRASH Japan teams need fuel. While supply chains are slowly being repaired in major cities, many people outside in the hardest hit areas need aid to come to them.
