Help Japan

Alicia Bock

Everywhere I turn, I'm seeing more and more artists responding to the disaster in Japan. It's incredibly heartwarming amidst such tragedy. My inbox is filling up with individuals sending out their info, and I would like to do a post here. If you are doing something similar and wish to add yourself to this list, please do so by leaving a comment here in the comments section. Here is what I am aware of so far:

Alicia Bock is giving proceeds from the photographs in this collection to the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.

The students at a local University here (UBC), have created a few ways to raise money. One I particularily love is they are selling paper origami cranes to raise funds. I love the legend that promises anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. Lets hope this legend helps those in need now. Click here for more information on all the ways to help (a comprehensive list).

Check out Handmade for Japan who's mission is to raise money through an online auction on March 24-27 for relief efforts.
