Let's Help Japan

LET'S HELP
JAPAN!

Around 2:00pm on March 11, 2011 a massive earthquake measured to be a magnitude of 8.9 had hit Japan. Fifteen minutes later after the earthquake had hit, a tsunami (tidal wave) roared into the country wiping away cars, damaging buildings and structures.
On Sunday, March 13, 2011, Japanese officials except the death toll to exceed 10,000. Japan's public broadcasting network, NHK, had reported that 1,300 people are confirmed dead and there are still many missing.

Although Japan is a strong nation, we should still give our support as much as we can whether it be donating funds to charitable organizations, donating clothes and sending food, drawing to raise awareness, or just hoping for the best of the people in Japan.

How to Help!!
    We have a few suggestions how you can participate in helping the people of Japan from this disaster. There are many local people who are fundraising for the cause and if you want to support any, here are some links!
    We, the Japan Club of Montclair State University, are also planning some fundraisers on campus once spring break is over. We will utilize this week to gather as many ideas and execute them once we get back to school. But before then, we would like to start helping via the internet as much as we can!

Japan Club at Montclair State University

We had held a few Japan Relief Effort events such as
  • Paper Cranes for Japan
  • For Japan With Love
  • Bubble Tea for Japan (Co-sponsored with the Unified Asian American Student Organization)
  • Art for a Cause
and implemented the relief efforts in our already planned events such as our annual Chibi Con. During the summer we will be continuing our plans for more relief effort aid for the Fall 2011 semester!
If you or anyone else has any ideas on what we can do to raise money on campus etc, please contact us asap!


THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
