"Who is she?" I whispered to my mother's friend.
"She takes care of the place..." she replied in a low voice.
"Why don't they bring in someone who can speak fluently - this is frustrating to see..." I whispered back, watching the Japanese men shake hands with the woman before turning to go.

My mother's friend shook her head sadly, "They tried, but she just refuses to leave. She has been taking care of the place since the rescue teams finished cleaning it out... she lost 8 of her children here."
