Kathleen Koch Mails Hope to Japan

As Kathleen Koch watched the recent tragedies in Japan unfold on television, she decided now was her time to  “pay it forward.”  A former CNN correspondent, Koch covered Hurricane Katrina for the network in 2005– an uncomfortably personal assignment because the storm destroyed her hometown in Mississippi. Recalling the profoundly positive impact that personal letter writing campaigns had on her Gulf Coast friends and family in the wake of Katrina, Koch decided to launch “Words of Hope for Japan.”

“We’re trying to collect a caring letter of support for every man, woman and child in a shelter in Japan,” she explained to FishbowlDC.
