The city of Kesennuma in Miyagi prefecture, which was devestated by the 3/11 earthquake and tsunami, has created a multilingual Facebook account to share stories and pictures of the disaster and its reconstruction efforts with people around the world. The city is the first disaster-hit municipality to provide such information in foreign languages on the social networking site. Kesennuma hopes the move will raise global awareness of the city’s plight and help it receive continuous support from overseas.
The city’s account currently has more than 1,000 friends and you can become one here.
