One year ago, on March 11, 2011, Japan experienced a devastating earthquake – the effects of the resulting tsunami, aftershocks and disaster at Fukushima Daiichi are still being felt. Although Japan has begun the healing process, more help is still needed.

 

Japan 311 is a grassroots organization started by members of the Japanada society, James Nakajima and Gabe Kojima. Although we call Vancouver our home, we have family back in Japan that are being affected by the Fukushima Daiichi events and feel it was our duty to “do something.” We decided to sell T-shirts, with all money raised to be used for the Canadian Red Cross, which in turn uses the funds to reach out to the Japanese.

 

The nuclear power plants are still causing problems; families are still out of their homes; Japan still needs help.

 

The road to recovery in the affected region has been long, strenuous and largely uphill, and it is still ongoing. It is anticipated that it will take several years for the region to simply begin the process of restoration and renewal. To support the long-term recovery effort Japan311.ca has established a legacy contribution plan in concert with Japanada Brand ensuring that support donations will be ongoing and the memory of those lost will not be forgotten.

 

We urge you to contribute whatever you can to the relief effort in Japan and ask that
you kindly donate through Japan311.ca, purchase a relief T-Shirt, attend a fundraising
function or donate directly to the Red Cross.

There are many ways to help support the relief efforts in Japan.
1) Purchase a T-Shirt for $20 at Japan311.ca by contacting us, or by visiting one of the participating retailers and 100% of the sale proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross.
2) Contributions can be made directly to the Canadian Red Cross online.
3) Ten Canadian Banks are now accepting financial donations in support of the Red Cross relief efforts in Japan from March 15 to April 15, 2011.
4) Canadians can make donations by calling toll-free at 1-800-418-1111.
5) Visit your local Red Cross office.
