<h1>Hi, have just spoken to Japan Embassy and the Japan Society Org in New York and was given the website for charities.</h1> <h1>Japan Earthquake Relief Fund</h1>

Japan Society has created a disaster relief fund to aid victims of the Tohoku earthquake in Japan. Over the years, Japan Society has partnered with several Japanese and American non-profits working on the frontlines of disaster relief and recovery. 100% of your generous tax-deductible contributions will go to organization(s) that directly help victims recover from the devastating effects of the earthquake and tsunamis that struck Japan on March 11, 2011.

Please contribute to the Japan Earthquake Relief Fund by donating below

Many corporations match, double, or even triple contributions made by employees, retirees and members of their boards of directors. In this way your gift has an even greater impact.

<input name="CHECKBOX_MATCHING_COMPANY" type="checkbox" value="on" /> My company has a matching gift program and I will forward the form to Japan Society. Check to see if your company has a matching gift program.

Hi,

It was very difficult to copy this info, this was the best that I could do, so when in doubt please go to the general website Japansociety.org./Japan.

Thank you for your kindness.

Also asked what was with the town where all people were swept away. Apparently some people had gone to work or school and they were found. The greatest number indeed have not been found, so indeed we were right in assuming that most of them are gone...

Seeing how people in their 70s are cleaning so they can asap start helping other people, really did it for me. This is a hardworking nation, and there is much to be done. Let's hope that the help will be distributed better than what's happened in Haiti, but PLEASE let's not use that as an example, or excuse not to give. They need obviously help very badly and I feel good having taken care of it. I myself also don't have much money, but simply not ordering from the Q. i have found that money.

Thank you for your kindness and commitment.

Sincerely,

Liesbeth
