March 23rd 2011 from NHK TV News.
“MASSAGE CORPS to the rescue!
“WE are the MASSAGE CORPS!! We come here to massage your shoulders!!” These were cries of the 7 to 9 years old elementary school children all lined up at the entrance of a shelter for the evacuees of the recent tragic earthquake tsunami.
They run to the elderly people and start to massage their shoulders. Each group consists of a few children and they take turns massaging an elderly person. (They get tired very fast so need to take turns to massage one elderly person) This is their CORPS strategy!!
These small troopers actually brought smiles to the faces of the elder people. All of them “felt good” and wore big smiles on their faces despite their present difficult situation.
The whole of Japan (and the rest of the world) are desperately thinking what they can do for the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Earthquake and Tsunami. Even the little children have found their roles.
