東日本を巨大な地震と津波が襲い、多くの人々に自然の驚異を見せつける未曾有の大災害が発生しました
この強大な自然災害により、多くの方が犠牲に成り甚大な被害をもたらしました。先進国の日本であっても今後の復旧・復興は困難を極めるものと予想されます

As you are already aware, at 2:46pm on March 11th, 2011, a massive earthquake and the subsequent tsunami devastated the Tohoku-Pacific region of Japan.As so many people said, both in Japan and overseas, the scenes were like something out of a movie: unbelievable in scale and horror.
But even seeing the horror of it on the news cannot prepare anyone for the scale of human suffering. And even a developed country like Japan has a seemingly impossible task in trying to overcome the trauma of the people in the stricken region and help them to rebuild their lives.

ABOUT THJ

既に多くの国々と人々が今回の大震災に援助や寄付を行っており、人々の善意は震災地域の方々の援助になっていますが、その一方で今でも実際にどのような手助けができるか模索している方もいらっしゃると思います

Many people from many countries have already given huge personal resources to the relief effort. And many are still wondering how else they can help.
There are already countless charities involved at ground level, and sometimes this can in fact be detrimental to getting help out to the region.

私たちは「甚大な被害にあわれた人々・地域のために何かできないか?」との思いから「Team HEAL Japan チームヒールジャパン」を立ち上げました

We are some people among thousands who formed a group to help during this crisis. We all have one purpose and that is to help the people in the disaster stricken area. We have named this group, Team HEAL Japan.

MISSION OF THJ

「Team HEAL Japan チームヒールジャパン」では、少なくとも月に2回は被災地を訪れ、清掃活動・食料配布などの活動を行う予定です
主な活動内容としては、がれき等の片付け・建物内の清掃・食糧水の配布・その他被災地の方へのお手伝いなどを、長期間に渡って行っていきます

Team HEAL Japan is planning to go at least twice a month starting immediately to offer our time to clean up, supply food and other essentials. Most of our work will be simple: shifting debris, cleaning out damaged buildings, giving out water, a helping hand, etc. This project will take a lot of time. However, we will provide all the time we have to offer.

次の段階として、被災地の自治体・東京都庁などに被災者の方々に必要な物資・支援を問い合わせ、支援の手が行き届いていない地域に赴き援助を行うことを計画しております

We are in consultation with the existing relief bodies including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and local governments in the disaster areas to decide how we can most effectively get aid to people. With their help we are planning to take numerous trips to the areas in need to help wherever help is not yet getting through.

NEED YOUR HELP

現在でも多くの人達が「何らかの形で被災者の方々の力になりたい」と思っていますが、１人で行うことは困難な事が多いかと思います
「Team HEAL Japan チームヒールジャパン」では多くの仲間を募っており、チームとして継続的に被災地での援助活動を行っていきます

Many people are eager to participate in some way. However, it’s always difficult to do it alone. With our network of so many people residing in Japan, we will continue to take visits up north together.

「Team HEAL Japan チームヒールジャパン」へご支援いただいた寄付金の一部を、援助を必要としている被災地自治体への義援金として送り、被災者の生活支援に役立てていきます

Team HEAL Japan started our site to offer what we can using your donations of any size. Our emphasis is very much on providing direct aid in terms of physical labor from people who may not normally be able to offer it to people who are most in need of it.

こうした皆様のボランティア参加・寄付金により「Team HEAL Japan チームヒールジャパン」は成り立っております。皆様のご協力に感謝申し上げます

We appreciate everyone's continued patience and support in helping devastated people overcome unimaginable trauma.

「Team HEAL Japan チームヒールジャパン」の活動の目的はシンプルで「被災地の方が笑顔を取り戻していただけるためのお手伝いをしたい」ということです

Our mission is simple. To offer a helping hand through a universal language; a smile.
