(Scroll down for photos and more information) KIF (Koyamada International Foundation), a 501c3 charity organization based in the U.S. and Japan, has been working non stop since July 7th, 2018 raising relief funds day and night to help victims of the Japan's largest historic rain and flood disaster that have battered the southwest of the country. The floods and landslides affecting Hiroshima and Okayama prefectures in particular are a tragedy. Hundreds of people have died and are still missing. Japanese residents became homeless overnight loosing everything. Some people fled to rooftops and balconies and waved desperately at hovering rescue helicopters. More than 3 million people have evacuate so far. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/31132472_1531331069251902_r.jpeg" alt="31132472_1531331069251902_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />(photo credit: The Washington Post) Shin Koyamada, a founder of KIF, an actor from The Last Samurai and Disney's Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior, is originally from Okayama Prefecture where he's serving as a Goodwill Ambassador, and his family members and friends were also affected by this catastrophic natural disaster that had never happened before in history and seeped in brown water spreading like a huge lake.  Koyamada quotes; <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/31132472_1531331751387037_r.jpeg" alt="31132472_1531331751387037_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />"Thank you to everyone who has contribute to this fund to help directly the victims in Japan.  My parents had to evacuate, my cousin was rescued before her house sinked under water, some friends have died and others are missing.
