余震が続いていますね。beo東京オフィスは現在18時までの業務にて対応していますが、18時以降に帰宅し近所のスーパーに行っても、本当に品薄で、食事の支度もまともにできません。というわけで、昨日からお昼休憩の時間を利用して、オフィス近くの高島屋で、食料品の調達を始めています。昨日の食パンに続き、今日はお米や麺類を買いました。食材を持って電車に乗り帰宅するのはちょっと大変ですが、でも仕方がありません。他に必要としている人のことも考えて、買いだめは控えながら、されどある程度まとめて買わないと、次にいつ買えるか分からない心配な今日この頃です。beo法人営業の藤井です。

引続き、現在留学中の日本人学生に向けてのケアに関するメッセージが届いていますので、お伝えします。

• オックスフォード・ブルックス大学 学長（Vice Chancellor）からのメッセージです↓

"I am writing to let you know directly of my concern about the situation in Japan. I know that many of you will have concerns about the affects of the earthquake and its aftermath and I am exploring with colleagues how to offer wider support.

In the meantime, if you, your family or friends are affected by this in any way, please do let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.

You can talk to your student support coordinator or academic advisor or the International Student Advisory Service (ISAS) on the second floor of the Helena Kennedy Student Centre, Headington Hill campus,

"We know that we cannnot do much to help you but you are all in our thoughts.

On a practical level, we have contacted our Japanese students and they have replied to say they are well. We are going to set up a time and date for a session with them to ensure there is nothing that they need from us. We just wanted you to know that we are taking care of them and will continued to do so."

On behalf of staff and students at the Arts University College at Bournemouth I wish to express my deepest sympathy for the terrible events of the earthquake which has struck Japan.

For those studying with us we are providing a variety of services which will support students during this period of anxiety and I wish to assure you that The Arts University will do everything necessary to assist them.

We will be vigilant over the development of events in Japan and will wish to assist in whatever way we can in these difficult circumstances."

For students who may have worries, whether financial or personal, we are here to help. There is a network of services available on campus that provides thigh quality specialised guidance and welfare advice. Do please contact our support services for help and advice."

•  ウィンブルドン・スクール・オブ・イングリッシュ 校長先生（Principle）からのメッセージです↓

"I am just writing to say how shocked everybody here at Wimbledon School was when we heard the news and saw the reports of the earthquake and tsunami which took place on Friday morning. We hope that you, your family and your friends are all safe and not affected by the disaster. Happily it seems that none of our students has lost any of their family or friends. Please be assured that we are still keeping a very close eye on the wellbeing of all our Japanese students during this difficult time. We also hope that the problems with the nuclear power plants will be solved as soon as possible.

Here at the school we are currently raising money for the disaster relief fund and we are committed to helping in any way we can. Our thoughts are with you all."
