A Call for Donations for Devastated Sumatra Aikido Dojo

Posted 2009-10-15 13:15:53 by Jun Akiyama
News URL: http://www.aikiweb.com/sumatra/

As discussed in this AikiWeb Forums thread, the recent earthquake in Sumatra has devastated an aikido dojo in the city of Padang when the earthquake struck during their practice, completely flattening the building in which they were training.

The Aikido Kobayashi Dojo, of which the Padang dojo is a member, is collecting donations to send to the Padang dojo. AikiWeb wishes to assist in this donation effort by collecting donations to send to the Kobayashi Dojo. Donations will be collected through October 31st, 2009 on this webpage: http://www.aikiweb.com/sumatra/.

Please help if you can. Thank you.

Re: A Call for Donations for Devastated Sumatra Aikido Dojo

Hi everyone,

I am happy to report that the donation drive was a great success, owing to the generosity of folks in the US, Norway, Singapore, Germany, Russia, and beyond! We managed to raise $1,855 total and was able to send out 165,000 yen (about $1,824 after PayPal fees, etc) to the Kobayashi Aikido Dojo in Japan to send over to the devastated Padang, Sumatra dojo in Indonesia.

I received a wonderful e-mail from Hiroaiki Kobayashi sensei with his appreciations for everyone's donations. He will be heading over to Indonesia later this month with the collections.

Special thanks go out to Ms Hiroko Tojo who facilitated the transfer to Kobayashi dojo's bank account.

Thank you, everyone, for your support for this donation drive!

Best regards,

-- Jun
