Ishinomaki school

I work for James English school in japan. Head office is based in Sendai and although there was no exterior damage, the interior damage was immense.

For now the school in Sendai is closed but we are hoping to get it open as soon as possible.

The same cannot be said for the James school in ishinomaki which was completely flooded. The school is closed with no signs of opening any time soon.

The teachers are all ok and accounted for. Many of the Japanese staff lost their homes in the tsunami although they all evacuated to higher ground.

The foreign teacher working there is ok, he lived outside ishinomaki so his family and home are ok.

This is devastating news in ishinomaki as I was moments from moving there in February.

I wish everyone the very best of luck and I hope food and heating finds them soon.
