Chie’s work colleagues kids have already donated a bicycle to Kobuchihama kids. But they are very worried about the kids there and that they have a hard time without much to enjoy. So what did they do? The arranged a collection in their class. Kids donating spare change over a period of time.



The result you see in the picture above. 25 bags of strawberry heart shaped meringues for the girls in Kobuchihama, and 25 bags of chocolate chip teddy bear shaped cookies for the boys. It will reach the kids of Kobuchihama this weekend.

Today we passed (well beyond) 100,000 JPY in donations for the Tohoku Donation!!! 🙂

To all of you that have contributed, THANK YOU!!!

Tomorrow Chie and I will go up to Kobuchihama to deliver food and hold a BBQ, with Ishihara-san and some of the other people that help her out in collecting money, food, and water.

Currently Chie’s and my Tohoku Donation have 47,713 JPY to spend, but there is no time to buy food or water by tomorrow so we will use it for the next shipment.

Commercial

It was a long day today. From one aspect it was also an interesting day, but most of the time was quite boring if you ask me. But I got some money for that will go directly to the Tohoku Donation. What it was?

I was an “extra” in a commercial that eventually will be on a home appliance company’s web page here in Japan. Though I cannot say anything about what company or the story I can say this much…

In one of the scenes the perfectly shaped back of my will play a very important role 😉 So important that they had to tell me I had to move around a bit as it looked frozen in time… And could ruin the whole project 😉

Anyway, it was interesting as I already mentioned. At least to some extent. Seeing behind the scenes for this type of commercials. How many people there actually are that are involved in making the commercial come true. Well above 40 people were involved today. And we spent a whole day, around 12 hours, for maybe a few minutes of commercial.
