Street Fundraiser with students from Sendai

FUNDRAISER EVENT THIS WEDNESDAY!! 

I received this email from the BC Japan Earthquake Relief Fund coordinator.... 

"At this moment, several students from Sendai, 

Japan are staying in Vancouver, 

and they would like to share their earthquake/tsunami 

stories with as well as say thanks for supporting

Tohoku to Vancouverites. They are planning to do street
donations, so it would be great if you could

help do street donations together with them and 

share your stories with them! Please see below
for the detail."
 
Date: Wednesday August 31 from 6pm to 8pm  

(they will be there from 5pm though)
Location: Granville and Georgia St. 

in Vancouver Downtown, just
outside of the City Centre Station.

So this Wednesday will be a great opportunity to come show your continued support! 

It is a chance to meet the students from Sendai, a city that was heavily damaged by the 

March 11th disaster. I am so excited to participate because I was in Sendai this summer 

where I met with the Teachers For Japan group. 

If you're reading this now, please take a second to remember that although 

the newspapers and T.V. coverages have moved on, there are many 

towns and cities and people's lives that are still on the road to recovery.

It's so easy to forget when we live in such a fortunate place like Vancouver

so Wednesday will be a great day to take a brief moment

to remember the people in Japan! 

so please come down and show your support!!
