More fundraising?!?

Supports in Times Square
Lebo, Shiquin and I joined the Ashinaga Foundation for a fundraiser in Times Square to build an orphanage in Japan.  There were a mixture of adults, elderly and orphaned teens holding up signs, chanting, “please help the orphans “ in Japanese and English.  The kids were spread throughout the square handing out small tissue packs that included a pamphlet explaining their cause.  It was powerfully touching to see so many New Yorkers, tourists and Japanese-Americans respond so positively with kind words and donations.  Seeing cultures some together in a time of need is a powerful thing – even more so on a stiflingly hot, humid day in the heart of the bustling city.  I think that anyone feeling the grief of loss would benefit from the heart-warming support of an organization like HappyDoll or Global Kids Connect.
