And THIS is amazing. You know Afghanistan is very poor, but...
Even the poor southern Afghan city of Kandahar announced it was donating $50,000 to the "brothers and sisters" of Japan.
"I know $50,000 is not a lot of money for a country like Japan, but it is a show of appreciation from the Kandahar people," city Mayor Ghulam Haidar Hamidi told Reuters.
Japan has promised $5 billion in aid to Afghanistan over the next five years, more than one-third of the total $13 billion in foreign aid pledged.
