BF Delegate Visit North East Japan-First of all, visiting the Tsunami stricken area along
the Japanese east cost was really heart-breaking. But I have learned what our y’s men with YMCA had
done for the recovery. Many volunteer works from Y’s Men and YMCA
members and families – domestics as well as worldwide. I saw the True Brotherhood. I also
realized they are still facing many difficulties to recover their physical and mental health.
Quote from BF5 report form Ym.Nick Sung-Rae Kim of Epsilon YMC St.John River Valley Dist. Maritime Region. CNC.
