We're going to do fund raise for Japan Relief at Times Square, this Sunday 3/20/11 from 12pm - 6pm at between 46th & 47th, behind Tkts. Our group name is JP GIRLS NYC, my closest Japanese girl friends who live in NYC. We're making facebook right now, so it is still under the process, but send you the link - below.
Situation has been more serious everyday, every second... 3.11.11 Japan earthquake, the 9.0 magnitude quake
(the fourth-largest recorded since 1900) made serious devastation in Japan,
on top of that, tsunami devastation was far more than ever expected,
And nuclear leakage and devastation is causing serious situation far beyond imagination…
As of today, the anticipated death total is over 15000 people,
and nearly half million people are still displaced from their homes,
in severe cold weather, with not enough water, food, electricity, gas, oil for stove, medical supplys,
with no family, no home, and no town to go back to…
So many cities and towns have disappeared from Japan, my country…
Aftershocks are still happening, planned blackouts are operating…
Rescue people at the site is still very critical, but on top of that, Japan is facing most critical situation, nuclear leakage…
People trying to control Nuclear power station in Fukushima Daiichi are completely sacrificing their lives to save others. Even though Japan has been trying their best, its scale is beyond imagination and it's just overwhelming…
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
I talked with my Japanese girl friends and we all are going to gather, and going to help raise funds for Japan.
This may seem like a tiny voice, but I believe that if we get together, it will help create a big power and support for Japan!
Please join and support!
This Sunday 3/20/11 at Times Square (46th & 47th behind Tkts), between 12pm to 6pm.
If possible please wear Japanese symbol color, red & white. Bring your own handmade Japanese flag if you can!
We encourage checks written directly to the charities, but accept small cash donations on their behalf as well.
100% of your generous tax-deductible contributions will go to the charities, like Red Cross, Japan society or Japan Embassy.
Please spread words anyone you know.
Thank you for your understanding, love and support.
