We enjoyed our tour of the base and our stay with my cousin and her husband. We were surprised to hear about Otsuchi, as we usually only hear or read about Fukushima and it's surrounding neighborhoods. Thanks to our customer (Carla M.) , we were made aware of your site, after she had placed an order with us. We, here in Little Tokyo-Los Angeles, have made many efforts to help with fund raising for Japan. Our family, though our websites, Japan Super, Jizake Center & Sake House USA and my son's restaurant, Oiwake, has sponsored several successful events. Should you be interested in setting up a fund-raiser, on any of our sites (at no cost to your group), I would be happy to set it up for you. Bless your group and their on-going efforts.

One of the activities involves a book swap. We will have children bring in gently loved books that they would like to trade for a gently loved Dr. Seuss book! We would like to send the books the children bring in to Otsuchi. Though they are in English we know their bright pictures and comic book like characters will be well received. Is there an address or vehicle for assuring the books reach Otsuchi and the children? Thank you for all you've done and continue to do. judith kayser On March 2nd the Fort Bragg library will participate in the nationwide Read Across America Dr. Seuss’ birthday!

I just made my donation, and I only wish I could give more. Watching the 60 Minutes segment made me so incredibly proud of my hometown, and so impressed with the survivors of Otsuchi who are hanging in there. I am so happy you are organizing this! Thank you!

What is asked for in return are a few good photos and feedback on the performance of the product. Interested? Thank you for your assistance.

She has yet to find where to actually send them. Perhaps the little girls of Otsuchi could use them. Please let us know if this is possible.
