Body of teacher from Chesterfield found in Japan

Et oui parce que pendant que l'attention se focalise sur les pauvres petites victimes de Tokyo et les gens à 10 000 km qui ont eu l'impression de voir un nuage jaune toxique venant du Japon, que les français se battent pour des compléments alimentaires à base d'iode, le vrai drame qui se situe dans le nord lui continue. Il y a encore des absents, des milliers dont des étrangers qu'on continue de chercher.

Taylor Anderson had been teaching English in Ishinomaki, a coastal city of about 163,000, when the earthquake and tsunami struck.

The body of Taylor Anderson, a 24-year-old graduate of St. Catherine's School and Randolph-Macon College who was in Japan on a teaching program when the earthquake and tsunami struck, has been found, her family announced today.

The Midlothian family said in a statement that they were told in a phone call from the U.S. Embassy in Japan.

"It is with deep regret that we inform you that earlier this morning we received a call from the US Embassy in Japan that they had found our beloved Taylor's body," the family said in the statement. "We would like to thank all those whose prayers and support have carried us through this crisis.  Please continue to pray for all who remain missing and for the people of Japan.  We ask that that you respect our privacy during this hard time. "

Taylor Anderson had been teaching English to kindergarten, lower school and junior high school students in Ishinomaki, a coastal city of about 163,000 in the Miyagi Prefecture as part of the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program for more than two years. She was due to return home in August.
