Admin’s Note

I believe that by visiting the disaster-stricken areas, Their Majesties will raise broad awareness of the need for support. In particular, for those living in evacuation shelters, the visit from Their Majesties, who hold a special significance, will serve as a great source of encouragement. Additionally, discussions on how to provide support are also important, as they prompt each of us to consider what we can do. As ongoing assistance is needed, we too would like to be a part of that effort.
