Earthquake in Kumamoto Japan : where to donate

Last Thursday, April 14th at around 8 am, it was just after I got out of bed.
I picked up my phone, I was about to check some news.
Then, a message with beeping alarm came out on my phone in my hand.
It was the alarm that provides natural disaster information in Japan that I still set on my phone.

It says in Japanese, "Earthquake information, maximum seismic intensity is 7."
I was surprised because seismic intensity "7" is so huge.

In 2011, when the 3.11 East Japan Earthquake hit Japan, I experienced seismic intensity 5 in Tokyo.
Even 5, it was the biggest quake in my entire life.
The books and files in shelves came out, the tall cabinets reaching almost to the ceiling was shaken back and forth, they looked almost falling down.

In the news, I found houses collapsed, land slides and destroyed high ways.
That reminded me the great earthquake 5 years ago.
The direct damage is devastated, but also there are a lot of difficulties to get back to normal.

Kumamoto in Japan is famous for its beautiful landscape, hot springs, historical sites and good seafoods.
I hope everything is restored and daily life, business, tourists are coming back earlier.
Also, condolence to the victims of earthquake in Ecuador.
