THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH to Leacy, our current disaster relief pot is now over $1,130 !!!
I understand that many of you may not be able to read a Japanese website, but I will be directly sending the entire $$$ to the MIYAGI Prefectural Government who has set up the funds there (website link
http://www.pref.miyagi.jp/kihu.htm).
This area was severely hit by Tsunami and earthquakes (the worst area). People in MIYAGI and in Touhoku are very hard-working - even more than others. They had been taking up on many challenges over the centuries - mainly due to the severe weather, less fertile soils, etc. Unfortunately, many youngsters have left the towns and the villages - so many senior folks are working regardless of their age.
I will be sending these $$$ to the specific fund that help people (not the building and infrastructure). I am hoping that the majority of our money will be utilized efficiently.
My plan to send this donation on/about Easter, and again around Mother's Day.
Hug,
MAKIKO
