Pray for Japan: Norwich
Pray for Japan: Norwich has been set up by local residents and organisations with links to Japan and the Japanese community in the city of Norwich, UK. We're working to co-ordinate fund-raising activities for the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami relief effort.
We need your help!
Please do not forget that the devastation in Northeastern Japan is immense. Whole communities have been wiped out and generations will be affected by the loss of life and livelihood. While international news may have moved on to other stories, the situation in Japan is still very real and raw.
We'll post details of fund-raising events on our Events Page as soon as we have them. Also, If you want help raising money for Japan, please contact us!
You can donate online by visiting the Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal donation page. The Red Cross will continue with the appeal until September 2011.
Donations to the Red Cross via Pray for Japan: Norwich and its collaborators:
Current Total: £8609.25
Thank you so much to all who have been involved. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated!
