I joined a group of my Japanese friends residing in Penang to help raise fund for the victims.<br />We held a charity event at Little Penang Street Market, the place where I sell my accessories every last Sunday of the month. We collected a lot of money. I have posted some pictures in my blog.<br />http://sumire-craft.blogspot.com/Sumire Craft - すみれ手芸https://www.blogger.com/profile/10993518018784115376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-50351174298883855102011-03-24T20:42:23.629-06:002011-03-24T20:42:23.629-06:00Hang in there!

But they had 8 adults all staying under one roof for a long time, then in a trailer for over a year as they rebuilt. I worried very much about their mental health, and physical health when they returned. They did not have electricity for many months, and lacked basic services for a long time. Even my own family are anticipating that Japan will recover much more quickly than New Orleans. Be sure to take care of yourself so they don't worry about you :). I know it's hard to think positively now, but there are some good things that will come. We're much closer now, we know personally the kindness of countless strangers, we don't take little things for granted anymore, and I have much greater compassion for others in similar situations. It's so difficult. I hope you find peace and that your family finds some relief!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436825220887971278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-56648435801789162842011-03-19T06:04:48.303-06:002011-03-19T06:04:48.303-06:00Dear Sachiko,

These days what I find most impressive given the challenges japanese people are facing, is the wonderful strength of character and sense of community they have despite the difficulties. It is a most compelling lesson for all of us to learn and follow when we have to overcome problems (hopefully not as serious as the ones in Japan now).<br /><br />I just want to tell you than people everywhere are trying to do their bits to help and support Japan in its hour of need. Here in Belgium we are making signature blocks that will be sent to Japan (see the following link:http://crib.shop-pro.jp/). The french magazine Quiltmania has alo started an initiative and we'll be making blocks for them as well. I hope all these little bits help!<br /><br />Keep the good work and may we all come out of this trial stronger!Blogless mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197604186807076554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-34458802675518149952011-03-18T21:05:21.702-06:002011-03-18T21:05:21.702-06:00Hi Sashiko, I found another great way for crafty p...Hi Sashiko, I found another great way for crafty people to help.

Especially the first time you got in touch with your sister after the quake and tsunami. Then again the next time and you mentioned hearing your nieces squabbling over the last bit of food. It is so hard for us to imagine this even in Australia, we see the photos and they strike us to the heart, but it seems so far away and we feel helpless. I have posted your message about the quilts on Face Book, but what could I do here in Australia?<br />love and God bless you and your family Sachiko,<br />Elaineelliesuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547723202380821475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-45776692031928119032011-03-17T07:00:04.614-06:002011-03-17T07:00:04.614-06:00You are doing a wonderful thing!
