Ichinoseki is also located in the direct back-country of the coast areas of Rikuzentakada and Ofunato which have been devastated by the tsunami. Hundred thousands of people lost their homes and are still in need of an appropriate shelter. Now, Kazunari wants to prepare his little school as an emergency accommodation for evacuees. For the details please read: http://openoffice.exblog.jp/12298764/ What Kazunari needs most is money to take care of the expenses for his generous venture. For this reason, we are collecting donations for Kazunari using the channels of "Team OpenOffice.org e.V.". You can send money via PayPal, credit card, bank transfer or check. For details please refer: http://contributing.openoffice.org/donate.html Every donation, that indicates the intended purpose with "Earthquake Japan" or similar keywords will go directly to Kazunari. *Please help Kazunari to help others!* This is a great opportunity to make donations for Japanese earthquake victims, knowing where the money goes and as well avoiding loss due to administrative expenses as they occur in larger relief organizations. Best regards, Peter (OpenOffice.org Marketing Project) P.S.: Forwarding this call for donations is of course welcome. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to authors-unsubscr...@documentation.openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@documentation.openoffice.org with Subject: help
