Jazi Kelgenbaeva, a Kumamoto University PhD graduate in physical sciences who is from Kyrgyzstan (where there are few earthquakes), had her thoughts of the earthquakes and their aftermath published in Islam in Japan Media. Many at the Kumamoto Islamic Center, located in Kurokami just next to Kumamoto University, have been very active in quake relief efforts. Her perceptions of the response of the Kumamoto citizenry to this tragedy are very complimentary and illuminating. Please read them at this link. - William http://www.islaminjapanmedia.org/490-2/
