Japan-Tag, ThereafterThe profit of 3469.25 Sfr. (291,240 yen) was delivered to the temporary housing association “Sasadani Tôbu (162 houses)” where victims from Namie-chô (Fukushima) live. On 23 December the president of NALC Fukushima, Mr. Seiichi Sato, handed the donation from CTJ (NALC Switzerland) to the president of the temporary housing association, Mr. Yûkô Toyoguchi, on the occasion when the housing association held its Mochitsuki-Taikai (Rice cake pounding meeting). Mr. Toyoguchi expressed his gratitude for the donation, and this was applauded by all the participants. From adults to children, they pounded a 180 kg rice cake, and the joyful meeting was broadcast in the evening by several local TV companies. Gien-kin (money donated to organizations such as the Red Cross) needs time for its distribution to be decided, and is not yet sufficiently delivered to people in temporary housing. It seems that running a temporary housing association is also not so easy. However, our donation, which is not gien-kin but shien-kin (support money), can be delivered immediately and was therefore appreciated.
