3月23日の水曜日、午後2時ー4時半まで、リッチモンドのCultural Centre （ミノルの図書館の所です）のロビーで、震災支援の募金活動を行います。

大きな団体に所属してはいないけど、何か自分達もできる事をしたい！と考えているリッチモンド在住の主婦グループが主催です。

当日は写真記事の展示や折り紙デモンストレーションなどをしようと考えています。

お子様連れの方も、そうでない方も、手伝い、ドネーション、何でも良いので覗きにいらして下さい！！

募金の送付先には気をつけてくださいね。

色々目減りする部分もありますが、日本赤十字など大きい団体が一番です。

T&Tなどで既に怪しい募金を行っています。
当初の目的は確かに日本支援を志していても、募金を受け取った団体が最後まで（世界の注目が薄れて人々に飽きがきた後までも）責任を持って日本の災害のためにお金を送付するかどうかは、誰にもわかりません。

どうぞ少なくとも日本国内に届くよう責任を持って募金活動をしてくださいね。これは主催者の責任です。がんばってください。応援しています。

どの団体に寄付するのかを初めに決めてから募金を募るのが普通だと思うのだが。
雨後のたけのこ見たいな多くの単なる募金お願いは、どの団体に寄付するの？

応援します！

市に許可は取りましたか?公共の場所で募金活動などをするにはパーミットが必要ですよ。無許可でやった場合は後の団体が許可をもらえなかったりするので、気をつけてくださいね。

何かをしたいという気持ちは大切なのですが、きちんとした登録をしていないと今後募金活動をしたい人に迷惑がかかることがあります。
先走った行動を取らずに、きちんと調べてから行動してください。

このリッチモンドの主婦たちはきちんと許可を取っていたのでしょうか？
けっきょく、許可を取っていないということは、こういった不信感を持たれてしまいます。

””T&Tなどで既に怪しい募金を行っています””？？？！！！
怪しいかどうか、何故調べないのか？全世界でもタダ一つ１００％募金したお金を被災地に届ける組織なのに、こんな風に批判するのは、良いことですか？？？
その人達は、日本人ではないし、白人でもないから、怪しいというのか？
その怪しい人間たちは、”仏教慈済基金会のカナダ分会のボランチィアです。”
東京でも分会があります。既にいっぱいの救援物質を台湾から十四日も東京に届けた（第一回めは台湾ドル３５００万）、そして、茨城の大洗町に熱食を被災者にも実施した、などなど。
この仏教慈済基金会は全世界の各分会と連絡点は同時に３月１５日からは、募金をしていますんで、今回の救援目的は日本なのに、日本人にこんな風に言われて、その人達は、馬鹿でしょう！！！

下に資料はいっぱいがありまして、見てください。

これは日本版ですが、慈済基金会の日本分会です。

First Tzu Chi Relief Shipment Arrived Japan

The foundation’s Tokyo branch has opened a relief centre to help those affected by the biggest earthquake in the history of Japan. It is providing people with snacks, an Internet service to contact their loved ones, a place to rest and sleep and comfort for those in shock. The volunteers have supplied 500 items to those who were trapped on the streets of Tokyo and unable to go home. More than 200 people have made use of the Internet service.

At the foundation’s headquarters in Hualien, an emergency command center was established on March 11 and held a video conference with the Japan branch to ask what aid was needed. An airplane arrived Tokyo on March 14, bringing the first shipment of relief materials from the Tzu Chi Foundation. The shipment included 5,000 eco-friendly blankets, 400 boxes, or 3.5 tons, of instant rice and 100 boxes, or one ton, of nuts, with a total value of NT$35 million.


Tzu Chi Volunteers in Japan headed toward one of the earthquake affected area, Oarai Ibaraki, to assess the situation. Tzu Chi disaster relief team has obtained an “Emergency Freeway Passport” to make the relief process more efficient.

Japanese Government has agreed to let Tzu Chi volunteers serve hot meals to the earthquake victims, starting on March 16. The foundation also prepared aids including blankets, scarfs, and clothes to deliver to the needed. Tzu Chi is also working with QUO Company to deliver cash cards to the victims for emergency use. The QUO cards can be used in about 3,000 participating stores.

Tzu Chi Delivers Hot Meals to Japan Earthquake Victims

On Wednesday, March 16, volunteers in Japan delivered their first food aid to the victims of the country's catastrophic earthquake, feeding nearly 1,000 people in a town on the east coast. It was devastated by the tsunami caused by the quake and many residents have been unable to return home.

Oarai is a town of 20,000 people in Ibaraki prefecture, 130 kilometers north of Tokyo, on the Pacific ocean. It felt the full force of the tsunami, which flooded fields, houses, shops and factories and left the town covered in mud. While power supplies have been restored and some people have been able to return home, they have no water or gas and are short of most goods. They cannot prepare three hot meals for themselves.

Before they set out from Tokyo, the volunteers prepared a meal of curried rice, one of the favorites dishes of Japanese. They also prepared other food items, condiments and gas heaters; in this way, they would be able to provide hot food as soon as they arrived. The water they took was provided by Japan's Self-Defense Forces. "In this way, we could reach there in the fastest possible time, complete the task in the simplest way and reduce the burden to local people," said volunteer Chen Jinfa.

Chen and his fellow volunteers set out at 7.00 a.m. in Tokyo for the drive of more than two hours to Oarai. They drove along the coast and saw for themselves the devastation caused by the tsunami. With the distribution set for 12.30 p.m., the residents began queuing up at 11.30 a.m at the town's cultural center; despite the cold weather, they were calm and orderly. The venue was cold and windy, making it hard to understand what people were saying. Before the distribution, Chen spoke on behalf of the foundation; he expressed the concern of Master Cheng Yen and the blessings of Tzu Chi people around the world and then led everyone present in a song and a prayer. "You cannot understand the words of the songs," Chen said. "The content is a prayer for the good health, peace and blessing of everyone." The song warmed the hearts of everyone on a cold day. The distribution went smoothly, to nearly 1,000 people. They were very moved and some wept. In the future, the volunteers will continue to provide cooked food and comfort to the victims.

After the earthquake and tsunami, the people of Japan are short of many things, including petrol and food. The members of Tzu Chi will overcome all kinds of hurdles and deliver hot food into the hands of those in difficulty. We hope that, as each person swallows a mouthful of the food, it will warm his heart and ease his pain after the disaster.

Tzu Chi Foundation of Canada Fundraising Campaign

Tzu Chi Foundation of Canada started Japan Earthquake Relief Fundraising Campaign on March 15. Over the weekend, more than 1,400 volunteers set up fundraising booths at 44 locations across Canada. On March 19, City of Coquitlam Mayor, Richard Stewart, not only donated to the relief funds, but also join the volunteer team to help fundraising.

レス４、５さんたちって

正論を言ってるにしても、もう少し、書き方を考えた方が、いいんじゃないかなって思う。

なにかしようと思う人にたいして、はげます人でありたくないですか？

同じ日本人同士なのに、足の引っ張り合いは、醜いです。

正しいことを言っているのに嫌われる人って、あなたたちのような人達です。

このレスを読んで、残念な気持ちになりました。
