I was going to write a post to pass on a lovely thank you message from Minako at NHK for the filming that took place at our last meeting. Sadly this has been overshadowed by the terrible events that have taken place in Japan over the past week, and she has asked us to share the link to the Red Cross Japan appeal:
http://www.redcross.org.uk/Donate-Now/Make-a-single-donation/Japan-Tsunami-Appeal
The Red Cross have been working on the ground with over 700 doctors and nurses since the disaster began.
Understandably the TV schedules have been changed a lot by ongoing events, and I'll update the blog when the programme goes out.
Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by the earthquake.
