A hurricane struck the coast of Honshu, Japan on March 8, 2011, followed my hundreds of aftershocks, including an 8.9 aftershock that caused a horrific tsunami that completely devastated the island nation. Relief efforts have been made ever since, but our society soon forgets, and it has. We never hear about those disasters in Haiti, Chile, and China anymore; what happened? Did everything become okay again since there are no more stories? The newscasters and journalists (in general) are always looking for new and unusual stories to report on. Perhaps Haiti, Chile, China, Japan, and other forgotten countries have become "boring" to some, and since the news does not report about them anymore, they are forgotten.
It is up to the ones that really care to go against the flow of society to change it for the better. I believe I am one of them. If I'm not able to change society, I'll change lives. It's up to us to speak for those who can't, and act for those who won't; so I'm starting this teeny-tiny little business/project to donate to the forgotten.
It's up to us to make them remembered again.
