omnomnomjapanesefood: Tohoquake (short for Tohoku Earthquake Fund-raising Project) is a fundraising project that has been set up to raise funds for the people in Japan due to the earthquake that struck the Tohoku region of north eastern Japan near the major city of Sendai on Friday, 11 March 2011. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake and the subsequent tsunami had resulted in devastating effects, such as fires sweeping through several areas, the suspension of transport networks and the disruption in communication networks. Furthermore, there is a rising number of both causalities and fatalities. Hence, we have decided to come together and start this to raise funds for the people who are suffering from the earthquake and its aftermath. We are actually a group of International Cassies but we would appeal to everyone, even if you are not a Cassie, to assist us in making this project successful. -- source link
