The Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE) and theGSBE Student Association would like to express deepest sympathies for the victims of the recent disaster in Japan. 

We hope that you would join us in supporting the Australian Red Cross Japan and Pacific Disaster Appeal. The funds raised through this appeal will be used to support communities affected by the earthquake in Japan and the resultant tsunami that reached numerous countries around the Pacific Rim and within the Pacific Ocean. 

You can donate online at http://redcrossfundraising.org.au/FBEforJapan and share your condolences on Facebook page Noriko Tadano (shamisen) and George Kamikawa (blues guitar)"Japan 2011 Disaster Appeal - University of Melbourne (FBE)". 

Thank you for contribution in supporting our initiative. Donations are voluntary. Any amount will be a great help to the disaster victims. 

Moreover, I would like to submit you the link to fanpage that people in my faculty and their friends are going to share their condolences to victims in Japan. Please follow the link here - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Japan-2011-Disaster-Appeal-University-of-Melbourne-FBE/105940869488166

There are posters and postcards of this fund raising project on the facebook fanpage, and there will be posters and postcards of this event distributed at Bar Commercio, ground floor of The Spot building (198 Berkeley St.) during 22 Mar - 1 April. You are welcomed to have a look at the exhibition.

I hope to visit you in person in your fund raising event soon. This fund raising project is a promise from me to Japanese people who really showed me their warm welcome when I was a tourist. :) I pray for Japan and hope this noble nation will soon recover and be stronger more than before.

Let's pass the love forward.

Regards,
Paul
