Tonight will mark the fifth anniversary of the 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. At 2:46pm JST (Sunday March 10, 10:46pm PST), a 9.03 magnitude undersea earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan, approximately 43 miles east of Tohoku. It was the most powerful earthquake to ever hit Japan and one of the five most powerful in the world since records began being kept in 1900. The earthquake moved the main island of Japan eight feet east and shifted the Earth on its axis between four and ten inches.

The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that reached heights of 133 feet in Miyako, a city in Iwate Prefecture, and traveled up to six miles inland in Sendai, the capital of Miyagi Prefecture. Around 4.4 million households were left without electricity after the disaster and 1.5 million without water in the wake of the disaster.

In September 2012, a Japanese National Police Agency report confirmed 15,880 deaths, 6,135 injured and 2,694 people missing across twenty prefectures.

This event made us create PSP Children's Foundation to help children in the area. We manage to bring few students from Japan to Seattle for two years with the help from many companies including Microsoft, Google, Delta Airlines, Bellevue Children's Academy and many volunteers.

Fortunately, since this disaster, we have not had major disaster to do anything. But we still have PSP Children's Foundation active to help children anywhere in the world. Thank you for all your support.
