Thank you so much for your continued support for Japan Relief Fund!!! We are so elated by the outpouring of your generosity! Today we are sending the second fund to the charity group, Just Giving Japan at website  www.justgiving.jp. This charity focuses on getting the needed supplies directly to those most in need. Right now it is very cold in this region of Japan and the focus is on getting blankets and anything that can fight the cold…as well as food and medical assistance.

I have been contacting many people in Japan to get a firsthand report of how they are…and to do my best to support them in any possible way. Everyone I spoke with in Japan had good strength, hope and a rebound commitment to building a better country… Amazing…With all our support and their strength, I know Japan will survive and even thrive. I’ve also heard good news that Japan office finally received a call from instructors who live in the Sendai area, which is the most affected region, they sounded safe and doing their best to stay in good spirits even though what has happened… We can all learn from this strength… Most I spoke with were able to give reports on other instructors in the area. We truly appreciate this friendship we have in our DECO community and the way everyone is so caring and reaching out to others!

We are moving forward with plans and the Japan DECO office is active doing their normal operations. I have my schedule all booked in middle April & May for new C3 classes and new book project in Tokyo. We must continue and look forward to a bright future…

I have been keeping myself very busy working on new project samples for the upcoming C3 classes and our new book project. I am very thankful to be able to pour my heart into these projects and hoping it will bring joy to many… I can only hope… pictures to share soon…

Thank you! Yukiko
