Three foreign members departed for Izu Oshima disaster recovery volunteer work

On October 16, 2013, Typhoon 26 struck Izu Oshima.
So far, 35 people have died and the whereabouts of four people are still unknown.
The foreign members of APFS were also saddened to learn about the damage on Izu Oshima through the news.

As foreign residents who have lived in Japan for many years, we want to do what we can.
This time, three foreign members have stepped up.
Volunteer for disaster recovery efforts on Izu Oshima Island from Thursday, November 28th to Saturday, November 30th, 2013
I have decided to participate.
The ship safely departed from Takeshiba Pier at 8:40 on the 28th (Thursday). Activities are scheduled to begin on-site in the afternoon of the 28th (Thursday).
During this period, we plan to carry out activities based on local needs, and also make samosas (Pakistani food) and serve them to everyone.

In order to carry out our activities, we incur expenses such as shipping costs.
Currently, through Just Giving Japan (fundraising site),
We are seeking donations to make this possible.
You can donate online at Just Giving Japan.
We would appreciate as many people as possible's cooperation.
