{Please Help} For Japan With Love




The numbers of displaced personnel in Japan is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands, but you can help!
Utterly Engaged has organized a great event to fundraise for ShelterBox.
FUNDRAISING
For Japan With Love has a direct link on the website to their fundraising page for ShelterBox. ShelterBox was one of THE first organizations asked by Japan to help and were on hand on the Saturday after the quake. Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items.

The guidelines are simple:
