| Fukushima nuclear plant where the explosion occurred |
 |
| Preparing to enter the reactor. |
The explosions were so many people feared not only by the 390.000 inhabitants in Fukushima, but also for the 36 million people in Tokyo and the many other millions elsewhere in the world. Radiation leaks from the plant came to Korea and the West Coast of the United States within 48 hours. Have revealed potentially lethal damage in areas near the plant but the whole truth before long known as occurred with the Chernobyl accident in Ukraine on April 26, 1986, considered the worst history.
There is something important and transcendent in the way that prevented a much larger disaster. When not managed to cool the reactor by any means known mechanical arose "the 50 Fukushima," so named because 200 volunteers have offered to fight the disaster and were divided into shifts of 50 people each. These 200 people are totally anonymous, some are believed to be employees and retirees of the plant belonging to the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), and some details have surfaced because some families have written in blogs and the press, revealing some of the realities and anxieties.

A ClarÃn.com press release reveals the words of a relative: "My father was a nuclear plant. I had never heard my mother mourn much. But he had never been so proud of him. Daddy please, come back alive. "This he said the daughter of a retired employee, who deemed it his duty to go to help, along with firefighters and police, to avoid a major disaster knowing they might be killed when exposed to lethal amounts of radiation.
Japanese society and many others in the world now recognize as heroes knowing that without the efforts of all of them entering the area of \u200b\u200bthe reactor to add water, filter polluted and extinguish other possible damage, we could today be mourning the death of millions.
A community can have men and women as the 200 is very happy. Note that the Japanese government itself demanded, under pain of fines and convictions, the 200 volunteers who do not leave the plant, which means they are virtually doomed to die. All of them, male and female volunteers, who are paid less than $ 150 a day for that job, they knew they could not get out alive of the situation, but still did so thinking of the greater good, for the good of the community of the world. Acts and ennoble the human race and make us partakers of an example worthy of emulation.

| Aaron with "Girl" in the library. |
This past week we stayed with my childhood friend Constance, Mr. Joseph Abraham Abud. Came from Pennsylvania where he lives to travel the same steps as he gave his son Aaron, who volunteered in the Library Anacaona last September and who sadly died just 18 years old, following a motor accident while visiting his Constance family. On Friday afternoon, with a group of 12 volunteers from Minnesota, who came to help finish the playground of children in public school, we hung a picture of Aaron in which he was seen playing football in the multipurpose children Las Terrenas. Joseph Abraham could not hold back tears as she told the children present at the ceremony how happy I was giving Aaron his bit to these people. His family paid too high a sacrifice, not for sale. They are paying the families of the 200 volunteers from Fukushima. Faced with such examples
must take off his hat and suck, pure and simple, to be able to do for our community even a chin chin chin than they gave to his people and the world "all 50 of Fukushima."
Thanks for reading my post. Thanks for reading this letter.
