“Hello everyone, we’ve been in the coastal area of the earthquake’s epicenter for three days now, and the scene is devastating. I would say that the tsunami caused much more damage than the earthquake (…) In the coastal towns, almost nothing is left standing (…) What strikes me the most is the look in people’s eyes—a mix of disbelief, sorrow, pride, and hope. And it’s because they know, we know, that we will rise again, and we will do it together (…) As in every crisis, heroes always emerge, and as often happens in real life, those heroes are usually people who seek neither fame nor recognition—just to help, just to do good. And I have met several of them in these past days.”
