We received a lot of support from everyone who donated.

On November 8, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan struck the central Philippines.
As of November 22, CNN reports that the death toll is 5,209.
Additionally, over three million people have been forced to live in evacuation shelters.

APFS has many Filipino members living in Japan.
Even if they want to help the victims, they have children and wives in Japan and live there.
It's not easy to go back to the Philippines.
I decided to start a fundraising campaign in the hope that it would help even a little the victims in my home country.

APFS will be held on Sunday, November 24, 2013 from 13:30 to 16:00.
We held a fundraising campaign with 10 Filipino members living in Japan at the east exit of Matsudo Station.
There was a lot of interest in the fundraiser, with many people stopping by to donate.
In just two and a half hours, we were able to raise 62,522 yen.

The 62,522 yen raised will be sent to a trustworthy local NGO and delivered to the Philippines as soon as possible.
The recovery in the area is expected to be a long-term process. APFS will continue to work with Filipino members in Japan to implement support measures.
We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.
