"My heart goes out to the people of Japan. I speak for all of the Happy Hearts Fund team, volunteers and supporters all over the world when I say that we are thinking of them these days and will likely be by way of the rebuilding procedure," Nemcova said. Even though most of us had been able to watch the tsunami's terror this morning with detached horror, it was quite real to Nemcova, who founded the Happy Hearts fund after she survived the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami in Thailand.

Students in Happy Hearts Schools study and draw about natural disaster preparedness, sharing their knowledge of the science and safety of specific sorts of disasters.
The fund presently operates in nine countries, such as Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Sri Lanka, Haiti, India, Chile and Hurricane Katrina-affected areas of the United States.
