$729.50!!

Hi all,

I have completed counting the donations that we collected through our first activity on Sunday, March 20th.
With the garage sale at Tomoe-san's space and the donation activity around Dolores Park, we successfully collected a total of $729.50 in one day, technically in about 5hrs.
Personally I was very touched by the fact that there are a lot of people willing to help others like this. One woman even cut a check for us. It is simply amazing and I sincerely appreciate it.

Collecting more donations is our fundamental mission, but let's not simply raise money. I personally believe it is also a good opportunity to talk to people as a representative of Japan. When you get a chance, let's have small conversation and tell them how we feel about this crisis or what we hope. It doesn't have to be something relevant to the earthquake and tsunami, even some chitchats about things in general. It will make a difference in some ways.

Anyway, I think it's about time to set a goal amount! $3,000...$5,000...$10,000?!
Tell us what you think!

Thanks,
Midori :)
