Many goods were sold… and we made just over 170,000 yen that will go directly to helping people in disaster struck Tohoku.

Many many thanks to all our volunteers (Chris, Gudrun, Mariko, Chika, Barbara, Meghan, Nikki, Rei, Dylan, Mike, Leah, Shaheed, Andrew, Miya & Two-shifts-Zsuzsi) , to all the people who made donations, to the people who came, to Justin for helping to put the word out, to Seth Yarden and his family for letting us use the space and to Quentin, Ken and most of all Rob (who must have been exhausted) for helping to pack everything up. Big thanks also go to Carolyn and Mewby for being there for pretty much the whole time – and biggest thanks of all to Sheila Campbell whose boundless energy made it all possible.
