Hey all,

We’ve got some great news to announce today! Thanks to your efforts, the #SINGItForJapan project has been a huge success. When you were all called to action, you responded with kindness in your hearts, and helped us make a video that was better than we could have ever imagined. As you all know, we’ve received thousands of great submissions, and unfortunately couldn’t include them all in the video.  

So today we’d like to launch the #SINGItForJapan gallery. Every Friday, we will choose 5 pieces to feature on the site.  To start us off, I’ve selected some of my favorites from the submissions, but believe me, there are plenty more to come!

On a more serious note, the road to recovery in Japan still continues.  We don’t hear about it in the news anymore, but we know that families are still struggling to rebuild their lives.  The cleanup job is immense.  And the danger of radiation still exists.  Even when our own country was hit by storms, the coverage lasted only a few days until the next elected US official did something completely asinine to get himself on the front page of the papers.

To all of you affected by these tragedies, please know our hearts are still with you.
