I want to raise awareness of a very special lady’s mission to collect crucial items for the estimated 250,000 people displaced by the Tohoku Pacific earthquake on 11th March 2011.
Her name is Caroline Pover and you can find her details here but for ease of reading I’ve copied her latest post here so you can see what she needs and where she is going to be in the UK over the next few weeks.
Please help in any way you can.
Publicity – share this everywhere!
Donations, whether monetary of practical will be much appreciated.
At the time of writing (1415 GMT), Caroline is currently in the Plymouth Guildhall car park collecting items NOW!!

今回、震災被害者のための義援金を集める手段の一つとしてリストバンドを作りました。このリストバンドには「OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH JAPAN」というメッセージと僕の名前が入っています。ずばり、そのまま日本及び、日本の人々のために祈っているというメッセージです。このリストバンドの全ての収益はダイレクトに地震、及び津波の被災者の元に届けられることになっています。さらに”Spread Love Through Music”（音楽を通じて愛を広めよう）と書かれたTシャツやポスターも今回作りました。勿論これらから上がった収益も全て被災者の皆さんへの義援金となります。小さな­ことですが、僕達なりにお返しが出来れば。音楽を通じて出来ることがある一方で、実際のお金によって被災した人たちが元の生活を取り戻していくことも重要だと考えています。

A beautiful Japanese tradition tells that a wish may be granted in response to someone with the devotion to fold one thousand origami cranes. This project seeks to draw on that ancient healing and show that the emotional blow received can be responded to through the strength of solidarity and human compassion.
Artists have created beautiful designs that can be made into origami cranes. A donation to the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund will allow you to download a design with instructions to guide you in making a crane. We are hoping many thousands of you will fold and then place your crane somewhere prominent so that it might inspire others to also focus their intent and devotion toward those in the grip of this tragedy.

ジャマイカのミュージシャンが募金活動のコンサートを企画。
In a show of love and support for the Japanese community after last Friday’s earthquake and tsunami devastated sections of the country, Junior Reid and his One Blood family have come together to raise funds to be sent to Japan in aid of those affected by the disasters.
Funds will be raised from the proceeds of last and next week’s instalment of his weekly Japanese Thursdays event, held at Club View on Eastwood Park Road.
The Japan disasters occurred on the second staging of Japanese Thursdays and Reid has now opted to partner with Yumi (a Japanese native who frequents the club) to contribute proceeds to the country.
