The tragedy of Ishinomaki has been repeated across the shoreline, where communities are still trying to rebuild, mourning lost lives and worried about the future, as the younger generation leaves in droves. Thousands of people are still living in temporary housing and many are dependent on aid for food and clothing. William wanted to know what the journalists had done, what the rescue operations was like, as well as the personal background of Hiroyuki Takeuchi, a journalist at the Ishinomaki Hibi newspaper. Akemi Solloway, founder of the London-based Aid for Japan, which supports tsunami orphans, said William's visit will not only provide a morale boost for the residents, but also reassurance that their plight has not been forgotten and renewed international awareness of their daily struggles. At a humble shopping area that sold local goods by storekeepers trying to turn their lives around, he rang a bell that survived the tsunami, called the "Chime of Hope."
