Recently it has been hard to watch the news, with so many stories filled tragedy. But here’s one story that shines a little light of hope. Akiko Kosaka, a Japanese student attending the University of California at Riverside, discovered that her family in Japan was alive thanks to a YouTube clip.
Akiko received word from a friend of a YouTube video that showed her house, still standing alone in the rubble, with her older sister holding up a sign for the TV news crews that read in Japanese, “We are all safe.”
