It is the worst feeling ever that I hear the news when I am outside the country.
and there are only limited things I can do.
Although there is not much I can do, I can't just sit down doing nothing.
We japanese students in Winchester decided to do the fundraising events.
We collected some money at Student nights held at the Union, at various locations around the University, and on the High Street.
Also we held a very successful Cultural Day where people were able to experience Origami and Calligraphy workshops and watch Traditional Tea Ceremony and Dancing.
In addition, the other night we did a fundraising dinner event @bangkok brasserie where I work.
The food was Japanese and Thai mixture, we performed japanese dancing and tea ceremony, held an origami session and calligraphy art.
It was really hard to put everything together and organise but we had such an amazing night with all the help from Winchester community.
I would like to say a big thank you to my manger Miff who kindly let us use the resturant to do this fundrasing dinner, also to Tom who took all these amazing pictures. His website is http://www.tomalprice.com/ so please check out ;)
I am happy to say we have raised 6018 pounds so far through all these events.
really would like to thank all the people who showed us a great support.
The Red Cross will take the money directly to their Japan Relief Appeal and it will be used to help the search efforts for survivors, help the people who have lost their homes, and help with the rebuilding of Japan.
Pray for Japan with all the love from Winchester.
