PENANG FOR JAPAN

There is a charity event at STRAIT QUAY TODAY(27mac2011) !!!
The charity event, so called "PENANG FOR JAPAN" is actually a fund raising event for the Japan's tsunami victims.
Hence if you guys have free time or anything unused item, feel free to donate and drop by STRAIT QUAY from 11am-6pm.



This is the email i received last few days.

"Subject: An Appeal from Emi Yamazaki

Hello friends,
We're all devastated by the tragedy that is unfolding in Japan now, and 5 days after the event, I've finally gotten sick and tired of just waiting for more information and worrying from afar.  My friends and I have decided that we needed to get out of this depressing helplessness and start doing something pro-active.  We have therefore decided to launch a fundraising campaign, and we're appealing to you all for help! 

I know it seems strange to be fundraising for a nation that is not only one of the richest and probably most prepared in the world, but when you come down to the individual victims, you have to just imagine having lost your entire house, family, village, future and hope under the literal cloud of radioactive shadow to understand how helpless, lost and without hope it is to be a victim of this disaster.  We feel that by doing this fundraising, we can focus the energy currently being spent on just feeling sorry into providing some much needed financial help to individual victims in Japan. 

The funds raised will be sent directly to Japan through the Japanese Consulate General of Penang.

How you can help:- There are 3 ways in which we're appealing for help

1)  SILENT AUCTION - we need donations of items from companies and individuals.
Please donate or help to ask for donations for things like rice cookers, fax machine, handbags, clothes, even good condition soft toys!  Items can be second-hand or new but please donate things people would WANT to buy. We don't want to be your unofficial garbage collector...!  Anyway, the purpose of making it a silent auction is so that even little kids can bid for soft toys and contribute in the process!

THank you so much for your time and attention for having read up to this part of the email!
And thanking you in advance for your contribution, donation, assistance, hardwork, enthusiasm, and sympathy!!  Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
I very much look forward to hearing from many of you soon!
Praying in earnest,
Emi "
