Dear all,

Please come and join us!
Donations are welcome, but just leaving a message would be an encouragement for those in dire situations right now...

An earthquake of magnitude 9.0 hit eastern Japan on 11 March. The number of death and the missing is over 24,000, and the tragic toll is expected to rise further. Even two weeks after the dreadful disaster, food, water, electricity, fuel, and means of communication remain all scarce commodities for many of the survivors in emergency shelters. The livelihoods in extensive areas in eastern Japan are virtually shattered.
WHY DO WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT?—Why 'Pray for Japan' in Cambodia?
As Japanese NGOs working in Cambodia, we wish to put together voices and support from Cambodian people and deliver them to the people of Japan. Japan has a long history of supporting Cambodia. We hope this event will further strengthen the friendship between the two countries. The messages will be sent to people in the disaster-hit areas through NGOs, as well as posted on various internet sites.
WHERE WILL YOUR DONATION GO?—NGO Relief Fund for Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
Your valued contributions will save lives and restore livelihoods of the people affected by the disaster. We partner with Japanese NGOs actively engaged in emergency and recovery assistance through JANIC (Japan NGO Center for International Cooperation, http://www.janic.org/en/), a network organization coordinating the financial support for NGOs assisting the disaster victims. All the donations made at this event will be used to support 28 NGOs through the "NGO Relief Fund for Japan Earthquake and Tsunami" administered by JANIC.
We are in the process of setting up a bank account. The details will be passed on later.
Please come and join us to support the people of Japan.
