Friends are planning an event to raise money for those up north! This is going to be in conjunction with the Japanese Whisky Association and you will be able to try some amazing whiskey! Here is what we are sending our friends: Please forward to any person who you think might enjoy the night. 日本語は英語のうしろにあります。 Rare single cask whiskies + hidden Tokyo bar + Tohoku relief Here's the deal: We go to a cool hidden bar on the University of Tokyo's main campus, they sell us shots of their rare single cask whiskies at up to half the normal price, and 50% of the takings go to Tohoku. The whisky: The drinks will be from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, a 30,000 member society which bottles exceptional single cask whiskies and sells only to its members. Usually, you'll pay around 1,600 to 2,400 yen for a shot, but for this event, everything will be 1,000 yen, and 500 yen of that will go to Tohoku relief. The Japanese branch of the Society has also agreed to dig out some very s...

I really like this kind of thing ... but wonder will the people in the centers ever get the messages? i mean if the messages just stay on line then most of the survivors will never see them and then what? http://www.messagesforjapan.com/

For those wishing to participate in volunteer activities during Golden Week holiday - the cabinet office Volunteer coordination unit  has a short message: http://english.tasukeaijapan.jp/?cat=13&p=321 5 key points are raised .... 1）Reconstructing the victims’ lives is the first priority. 2) Prepare yourself with necessary information prior to volunteering. Being self-sufficient is fundamental. 3) Coming as a group is preferred. 4) Be flexible to meet the needs.　　　　 5) We have a long way to go. * Why they did not send out this info last week ???  i have not idea!

I am in need of volunteers or an intern to help me with online research and compiling data on what NGOs are doing in English. since most of the materials are in Japanese - at least 1 native Japanese reader would be needed -but a pair would be best. If you are student here in Tokyo i can also help you arrange to get credit as an intern. Leave a comment for me and i will get back to you over GW.

The options explored here will be include those suitable for foreign and bilingual volunteers, but should be useful for all. Please come and hear what these organizations are doing and find out what you can do too.

Bond and Justice local people helping each other when others are afraid to! Their email to me: We are concentrating on FUKUSHIMA and other cities in MIYAGI. So please keep in touch to overcome this insanity here in Japan. Since we are just group of civilians with PASSION and ACTION consists of music and restaurant industries. We are applying to form an official nonprofit organization right now so we would appreciate any support or guidance from experienced organizations. I really appreciate your quick response and deep kindness to people in Fukushima! http://bond-and-justice.com/en/

Much to the surprise of many people - this Golden Week - very few groups have large scale volunteering programs set up. Peace Boat already has their 500 people assigned to teams to do food prep and mud clearing. I know many of you want to head up to help. If you are inclined to go up - Go through an organization or group already set up. MOST ACCEPT VOLUNTEERS AS THEY NEED THEM, NOT ALL THE TIME. Do not be surprised that you might be turned away if you just show up. Contact an organization or a local disaster volunteer center first and ask them about their needs. Let them know when and how long you can help out for and ask if there are any particular things you will need to bring: http://www.jpn-civil.net/support/volunteer/post.html For nonJapanese if you have limited Japanese language skills, go with people who are fluent.  To be effective you will need to be able to communicate with people - otherwise you will be draining off resources that are already lacking.

I've been asked about "unconfirmed" reports of women who have been sexually assaulted in shelters recently.  Someone asked if personal alarms could be distributed to help women in centers. Although this is very common in post disaster situations i have yet to see any data or programs addressing these issues. If anyone out there has information on this issue and or knows who is providing support - please drop me a note. if you can introduce people who might know more that would also be helpful Please let me know what infromation can/cannot be shared publically.

In light of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan, Living Dreams has teamed up with Smile Kids Japan ( smilekidsjapan.org ) to launch a very special 12 month+ project to support new orphans and affected orphanages in the Tohoku region.  On April 1st (EST), our project, after undergoing strict due diligence, was accepted onto the GlobalGiving site.   We now have exactly 30 days to raise a minimum of US$4000 in order to remain on GlobalGiving permanently and continue to raise funds - US$4000 must be raised by April 30.    They are looking to  families, friends and colleagues around the globe to help support our effort in any way possible.

今回のメールでは、みなさんにまた一つ協力のお願いがあります。 福島県ではこの学期はじめに、 独自に各学校の放射線量の測定を開始 しました。その結果は、 福島県庁のウェブサイトで公開されています。 http://www.pref.fukushima.jp/ j/schoolmonitamatome.pdf 　一行目の福島市の小学校から驚くべき数字が出ています。 地上１ｍの 高さで4.9マイクロシーベルト／時、１cmの高さで6. 3マイクロシーベル ト／時。子どもは背が低く、 土ぼこりとともに舞い上がる放射性物質を 吸い込みやすいとされていますし、また、小さな子など、 いくら注意し ても、地面に座り込んだり、土いじりをしたり、 あげくにはその手を直 接口に突っ込んだりします。私の子どもがそうです。なぜなら、 歯の生 え変わり期で、揺れる歯が気になって仕方がないからです。 なので、子 どもに、「数値が高いので注意しましょう」 などと言っても無意味なの です。疎開させなければなりません。すでに、 福島県の浜通りと中通り は全体が子どものいる環境ではないと思います。 この独自調査は、ただ結果を公表しているだけで、 この数字を越えた らどうするという指針がありません。 いまそれを福島県が文科省に対し て求めているのですが、文科省は福島県に対して、なんと「 20ミリシー ベルト／年」が屋内退避の目安だと回答する方針だというのです！ http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/ national/news/20110409- OYT1T00912.htm?from=tw 　これは、もはや一般の原発労働者並みの被曝許容上限です。 正気とは 思えません。端的に、子どもを「避難させないため」の指針です。 先の福島市の小学校の数字ですが、単純に５マイクロ／ 時として計算 すると、年換算ですでに44ミリシーベルトに達します。しかも、 外部被 曝と内部被曝の合計ということを考えれば、 100ミリシーベルト／年ぐ らいの被曝量なのです！　どうしてこれが児童に対して許容されるのか 理解できません。 すでに退避指示水準をはるかに超えていると思います。 （他の小学校を見ても、いずれも異常な高さです。 また隣接する宮城県 南部と茨城県北部もそれ...

Google Person Finder Google has launched its Person Finder for the Japan Earthquake. Users can input information about someone in the service or search it to see if any information is available about someone who might have been impacted by the tsunami. NTT Docomo Safety Response One of Japan's mobile-phone providers is allowing users to input a loved one's mobile phone number into a search to confirm the safety of that person. KDDI Disaster Message Board Similar to NTT Docomo's service, the KDDI Disaster Message Board lets people place messages on its service to find out about a loved one's condition. That loved one's safety can then be confirmed via mobile phone or on a PC. Softbank Message Board Softbank's Message Board mimics KDDI's service, allowing users to post a message to loved ones, which can then be viewed on the person's mobile phone. They can respond from that device to confirm they're safe. Japan Shelter Map A Goo...
