Since April, 2011 Hands On Tokyo have been sending relief items to those affected in the Tohoku areas.
In February, we recieved a huge amount of goods from one of our Corporate Sponsors which we sent to our local partner in Tohoku during March. The goods have been passed out to locals living in Temporary Housing shelters. As we move further away from the earthquake and Tsunami, we notice that the needs of the locals is changing and we have also recieved great news that businesses are slowly starting up. In order to encourage their economic / business growth, Hands On Tokyo has decided to hold off this project for the time being.
Hands On Tokyo will continue relief efforts and would now like to focus on sending more volunteers to engage in relief projects in the Tohoku area and have posted a project accordingly. Donations made through this new project will allow us to reduce transportation fee of volunteers and to purchase necessary goods for projects to continue organizing meaningful volunteer opportunities in Tohoku.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
