Donation Drive

In light of the disastrous events occurring in Japan within the past week, the Department of Japanese Studies NUS will be conducting a donation drive this Thursday and Friday (17 & 18 March 2011).  Our booth will be located at Benches 4 and 5 outside the Central Library (in front of the elevator and next to the steps leading to Yusof Ishak House) from 9am to 6pm on both days.  We will also have volunteers roaming around the campus to collect donations from various lecture theaters, canteens and walkways.

All proceeds from the donation drive will go to the Japanese Association, Singapore in their disaster relief efforts. In addition, we will also provide origami paper for those interested to fold paper cranes as a message of goodwill to those affected in Japan.

Japan is currently facing its biggest crisis in recent times.  Many Japanese are still awaiting rescue, facing shortages for many daily necessities, living in fear of nuclear fallout, or simply struggling to rebuild their daily lives.  Let us do our little parts by donating, and encourage the many victims by showing them that Singapore and the rest of the world cares about their plight!
