Nani Sasaki (left), a junior at Washougal High School, is organizing a live music concert to benefit the victims of the recent earthquake in Japan. She was inspired to pursue the project after discussing the issue during her Japanese studies class taught by Shoko Fuchigami (right). The concert will be held Friday, June 17, at Coffee Revolution inside River Rock Church in Camas.

When 16-year-old Washougal High School student Nani Sasaki first heard about the massive earthquake that hit Japan in March, she wasn’t sure how to respond.

“It was really sad,” she said. “I didn’t know what to think about it at first. Nothing like that ever happens in Washington. I just don’t know what I would do in that situation.”
