Bad Volunteer Blog Writer!!

Oooooh, there have been very very few updates! Bad volunteer blog writer!

First off, technically recruiting should end today, but we'll probably still be in need of last-minute help this weekend.

Charity Bazaar!

Where: Tenshouchi Park Rest House, Kitakami.

When: May 26th (Sat) and May 27th (Sun) 9 am to 4 pm

Why: JCI (Junior Chamber International) Japan has a store of unused donation items, mostly everyday items like toilet paper and etcetera. HANDS is selling some of these items at Tenshouchi Park to raise money for the volunteer centers in Kamaishi, Rikuzentakata, and Kitakami, as well as other organizations that benefit the coast.

The Work: mostly carrying donated items, setting up, selling to customers, guiding traffic. *Don't worry about your language abliity. HANDS will not ask you to do something you can't handle.*

Please let me know asap if interested.

Also, there will probably be usual weekend (Saturday/Sunday) volunteering next month. Let me know when you want to come.

Also also, HANDS is taking a special volunteer trip down to Minamisoma (Fukushima) on the 9th. Departing from Kitakami station at 5:30 am, returning at about 7 or 8 pm. If you're interested and want more details, please contact me. Deadline for signing up is May 31. For this event, serious inquiries only please. Please be reasonably sure you'll be able to participate on the 9th and prepare yourself with clothing, a lunch, etc before signing up.
