Love Japan Charity Event (Saturday April 9 – 1p to 6p)

All of us are still in shock because of the massive earthquake and tsunami that has struck the Tohoku area, Japan on 11 March. The victims in Japan are still facing the dangers of radiation after the series of explosions at the Japanese nuclear power plant, and also aftershocks. There are many Japanese who came to NY to fulfill their dreams; as artists, designers, chefs, entrepreneurs, or businessmen. Our people have been the suffering in Japan. Living and working far away from home, we may find it difficult to find a way to support the country of Japan. However, we came to NY for a reason.. So I realized that although we are separated by a great distance, there are many things we can do from here.. We should express our love and support with our expertise that we have learned here to help Japan…
