箱の大きさが９０ｃｍ、内容物を告げ、送り先の住所、避難所の受取の責任者の名前などを、森さんからのメールの添付ファイル資料を係の人に見せて説明しました。係の人は送り先を手元の書類と照らし合わせながら、数分で荷物を受け取られました。到着は10日程度とのことでした。お蔭で手続きは十順調でした。
[18] 東北へのゆうパック 投稿者：平井登茂子 投稿日：2011/04/08(Fri) 06:08 - 近畿支部会員からの報告です。
ご案内いただいた小泉中学校避難所宛てに、ゆうパックで子ども用書籍を送ってまいりました。送るのにちょっと苦労しましたので、ご報告致します。
地元の郵便局で、宮城県はまだ局留めでしか送れないという情報しかないので預かれないと言われ、いったん引き下がりましたが、森様に直接お電話をして確認すると、市会議員の及川様が避難所で必ず受け取れるように郵便局と話をつけておられ、現にお送りしたものが現地に届いているので、粘って下さいとのことでした。結局、地元の郵便局から気仙沼の最寄りのゆうパック配送センターに問い合わせ、避難所まで配達していることが確認できたので、受け付けてもらえました。森様によると、辺の合計が100cmの箱は受け付けてもらえず、90cmまでしか送れなかったとのことでしたが、地元の郵便局では100cmぎりぎりの箱でOKでした。まだ道路事情が悪いので、いつ届くかは分からないとのことでした。このように、発送の際に少し手間取るかもしれませんが、ご案内のファイルをプリントアウトしていき、現地で受け取れることは確認済みであることを強調されるといいと思います。現地の配送センターも人手不足で大変お忙しそうだったので、あまりたくさん電話での問い合わせが行くとご迷惑だろうなと思いました。
以上、ご報告まで。

約10年前ジャンチブさんは東北サーバス支部総会に出席してくださったので、覚えていらっしゃる方もあることでしょう。
３月２３日に日本にいるモンゴル人たちを国に返すチャーター便で彼は日本に入りました。その「第二の故郷に恩返し」の見出しにもあるように彼の東北大学大学院で勉強した期間は大変長かったようです。
そして、恩返しのために日本にしばらく滞在しお世話になった人に恩返しをしているのです。
美しい話ですが、もし、私がジャンチブさんの立場だったら果たして放射能漏れの恐怖に怯えている所にわざわざやってくるでしょうか？
以上、簡単な報告をさせていただきます。
追記
２００９年の９月、モンゴルだだ一人のサ−バス会員の女性宅に６日間泊まってきたのですが、その旅行報告書(下記URL)の２枚目にジャンチブ校長の自慢の学校を見学できた様子（下記URL)を書いております。

I write full of thoughts about your wonderful country. I trust that
you are well and that the devastation hasn't reached you. The
nuclear plant danger is another matter. Please know that I have spent
the last days praying and keeping you in my heart during my
meditation. I wish I could do more than just words.
Please write to tell me how you are. Erica and I are very concerned.
Your friend from Colorado, USA,
Nora Jacquez

Dear Tomoeko, We were quite stunned after hearing about the earthquake and tsunami. The whole world is in mourning for this tragedy. We realise that where you
live is not in the imediate danger area so we hope you were
not in the affected region at that dangerous happening.
Now we are all very concerned that the nuclear reactors
might blow up at any time spreading radioactivity all about.
Where will it all end ?
We do hope you are safe and well and we send you our love
and best wishes, Gordon and Sheilah
[8] Tohoku Japan Earthquake, Report from Sendai 投稿者：森幸子 投稿日：2011/03/31(Thu) 11:43 - 東北支部会員の尾形まゆみさんが、今回の地震のついて書かれたレポートです。
Tohoku Japan Earthquake, Report from Sendai: 20 March 2011
Mayumi Ogata
We have been doing fine so far. The nearly tense problems are food, fuel and the power plants in Fukushima.
· Luck of Lifeline
Transportation, not only for people but also for goods, stopped because of luck of fuel, we don’t get any supplies in our region. To make it worse, people just stop their cars in a line in front of service stations to try to buy some fuel, that prevent other transportations going through. Even if they wait in a line, there is little possibility to be able to buy fuel. Of course, if there ever is any supply, first of all it should be given to the most damaged area, where so many people are in dead or alive situation. Therefore there is no prospect when we can buy food and fuel. We still have a little food stock and half tank-full petrol in our cars. No matter what, we have to keep petrol for emergency. My husband walks 6 km to work to save petrol. But food, kerosene and gas in the propane tank won’t last long. After we use them up, we won’t be able to use our heater, shower, stove to cook and food. We are trying not to use them as hard as possible.
· Escaping or staying
The worst is the power plants problem. Government and the power plant staff are working hard to prevent the worst result. Japan force started watering from the helicopters and fire engines water from the ground to cool fuel rods down. At the same time, they are trying to supply electricity to the power plants so that the Emergency Core Cooling System will hopefully start working. We can’t make any predictions about the situation. I got so many emails from all over Japan and abroad, some of them offered the hospitality, some gave an advice to escape from Japan or leave away from the power plant. That is really grateful and I appreciate all of them that so many people care of us so much. We thought if we should leave away or not, and if yes, to where and how. Only one thing is clear that if we leave away from the power plants the farer, it is the safer. We wondered so much if we really need to do so, while the government is announcing needles escapes prevent the aid supply and emergencies access. They keep announcing that scientific numbers still indicate very low degree of danger that it doesn’t bring any harm to people’s health. We have no idea how much it is dependable. On some web sites, the worst result could be worse that Chernobyl, while on some sites the systems are basically different that the damage would not be too serious. After all no one can tell the future. It is true that some people are already escaping from the power plants or eve from Japan. But on the other hand, some people just come into the disaster area to work as volunteers to help the people. Some of them even lost their own family or house and still trying to help other people. I wonder what it means that we run away from here leaving the people who are spending much more hard time and helping each other in really severe situation behind, while we have home to keep us warm and are able to eat warm food. I just don’t know the answer. Even if we are here, we can’t be any help for them since only the thing we can do now is walking one store to another to try to get some food or just to stay at home not to get cold or waste any fuel. More over, leaving Japan to other country means that we may have to give up the guarantee of life in Japan later on. All my family members are here. If it results in the worst case after we run away and survive while family we left in Sendai have died, how we would feel??? I just can’t get any image of it. The future is so vague. Finally we made one decision and made a reservation of the flight to Sapporo, which is up North in Hokkaido and 500km away from the power plants on 26th. It was the earliest flight to anywhere we could reserve. It is insurance for us. That is we can watch how the situation will change to that period and then we can escape or cancel it according to the outcome. We hope we don’t have to use it. By the way, we gathered our old clothes we don’t wear any more yesterday so that the father of our son’s classmate who works at Japan Force can take them to the disaster area.
· Japanese, hard workers
2days after the earthquake, my husband went to his office just to have a look and found most of his colleagues were already there! Some of them just couldn’t go home and spent the night there. But workers themselves are already heading to the revival. His boss ordered him to work and check on a destroyed cemetery, which is obviously dangerous and doesn’t seem to be a tense essential for the moment, while their own houses are still in a mess after the earthquake. 1 week after the earthquake, we got a phone call from the construction company we were discussing our house. They say that the government aid to the long-term superior house will restart its application for this year. It sounds a bit strange to hear that kind of news when people are worrying about their life. The president of the company sounds very proud to know that even one house they have built was not washed away by tsunami. I was surprised again to talk with him and thought; it is well known that Japanese people work very hard and it was one thing I didn’t like. I have been thinking if they take more holidays and enjoy their leisure more. But maybe that is why Japan is reviving so quickly even after such a great earthquake and tremendous damage, just like they have done once just after World Second War. At that time as well, they must work hard same as now, to rebuild Japan up to the No.1 economic power in such a short period. It is just amazing how they can work for the company, for the society for the other people when they don’t have food to eat. Even when they are having a hard time to get food they just wait in a long line for long hours sometimes exchanging the information where and how we can buy the food. There is not any matter of plunders who break into the stores to steal things. Even in the emergency evacuation area, even when they cannot get enough food distribution, they share little bit of food. Japan may not be completely hopeless country as I have thought.
