Today marks the first day of #JapanLife and through April 2, bloggers and Twitterers will be sharing experiences about Japan in an effort to raise awareness about the country and support recovery efforts following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Join the conversation on Twitter using the #JapnLife.
You can donate to the Red Cross to support the recovery or an organization of your choosing.
During the week, I’ll be posting tales from my Fall 2004 trip to Japan as a participant in Rotary International’s Group Study Exchange program. I’m forever grateful for the amazing opportunity I experienced as a result of the trip.
