Eating emergency rations in shelter. |
In the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan, I watch scenes of destruction and misery on the TV and YouTube. My heart aches and I want to contribute to the aid efforts. I was advised to wait for an official donation line that would benefit the victims in Japan directly. One such line is now available at the Singapore Red Cross:
Cash Donation :
Mondays to Fridays 9.30am-9pm,
Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays 9.30am – 6pm.
ii) IC/Passport No.
iii) Address and Contact Number
iv) “Japan Disaster 2011”
I think the most convenient way to make a donation is by SMS. Since the donations are non tax-deductable, there is no difference whether they have my name and IC number or not.
Please help the victims in Japan. Many have lost their homes and loved ones. Let us help them to overcome the current difficulties and aid their efforts in rebuilding their lives.

This is a sincere appeal and please accept my heartfelt thanks for your compassion and generosity.
