Three workers are heading to Japan to personally show the victims of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that Bermuda is thinking of them.Takeshi Iwaguchi, Bror Muller and Victoria Clipper are to travel 7,500 miles to help complete strangers who had their lives ripped apart by the natural disaster in March.Their task is three-fold as they will hand over a cheque raised by Bermuda’s milk-carton fundraising appeal, give out 1,000 origami cranes made by Warwick Academy students and help volunteers with the clean-up operation.Japanese reinsurance company Tokio Millennium Re is funding the nine-day trip for its three employees, who were randomly selected.Assistant vice president Mr Iwaguchi, who is from Tokyo, said: “When I heard about what had happened in Japan, I felt terrible.“I’m in Bermuda when my family and friends are in Japan, all I could do was send them money.“But now I am going to them and helping them in any way I can. I want to make life more comfortable for them.”It will be the first time Mr Muller, from New Zealand, and Ms Clipper, from Bermuda, have been to Japan.The trio will leave Bermuda on June 11 and will arrive in Tokyo 24 hours later. They will then travel by train to Sendai, which is about 2.5 hours north of Tokyo.They will also hand over tens of thousands of dollars to Japan’s Red Cross to help fund re-building work. This money was raised when Tokio Millennium Re teamed up with MS Frontier Re to collect donations through a milk carton appeal in Bermuda’s stores and restaurants.They will also go into hospitals, schools and refugee centres to give out the origami cranes, which symbolise hope and love. Warwick Academy P4 students made them and added heartfelt handwritten messages.The team also hopes to take photos of Bermuda with them to explain to the Japanese victims who they are and where they are from.Mr Muller, who works in the IT department, said he was “proud and honoured” to be going to Japan, and he stressed it was “so much more” than a vacation.He said: “I’m sure it’s going to affect me dramatically. You see things on the news but that feels more like a movie.“We are actually going to be there in person delivering the message that the rest of the world cares about them.“To send such a tangible message of support and empathy for the people of Japan is remarkable.”The team will also roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty as they will be working with volunteer groups for four days.They expect to be removing the mud and debris left by the tsunami in the badly affected areas of Tagashiro City, Iwanuma City and Ishinomaki City.Ms Clipper, an underwriting assistant, says she won’t even be bothering to pack any of her best clothes as she’s expecting wet and dirty conditions.She said: “We are going to see complete destruction but we want to show them that they are in our thoughts even though we have never met them before.“I am looking forward to representing Tokio Millennium Re and Bermuda, this is going to be an experience of a lifetime.“We are going there to make a difference, we are getting out of our comfort zone and are really going to get stuck in.”The three workers will be making a video diary of their trip and plan to return to Warwick Academy to give a presentation to students on their return.The company asked all its 70 employees who was interested in going to Japan and “the three lucky ones” were selected in a draw a couple of weeks ago.CEO Tatsuhiko Hoshina said: “We are a 100 percent subsidiary of our Japanese parent company, but at times like this we feel helpless as there’s been little that we could do. But this is our opportunity to make a difference. It’s the least we can do.”
