A friend of mine, who I will call Gringo, met my wife downtown, in our small hamlet of Rawdon, and started speaking to her about the earth quake and it’s awful impact on the people of Japan. He told her that he would like to do something about it, but the only way he could think of is over the internet. So my wife says to him that “my husband is somewhat of a nerd” – I protest – “ and maybe he could help set something up over the internet.
When my wife got home she laid this on me, and I said… “When do we start?”
That very afternoon I began by doing a search for free sign-up lists. Well I found a few free sign-up lists, but none with the calibre of Sage Point. When Vivian at Sage¨Point saw our entry, she was there to give us a hand to set things up, in a flash.
Ah, but I digress. This in fact is a very serious issue. We have set up a sign-up sheet no. 1 to find people on our humble planet, who are willing, in some way, to help our family from Japan, buy supplying them with various goods and services, such as, cloths, food, shelter, etc. all is very well spelled out on the sign-up sheet.
After we have had enough volunteers, we will create another sign-up sheet in Japanese, letting the Japanese people know that we are here and ready to help them in any way we can.
Having said that, I would like to direct you to the link below, where you can, at least, take and distribute it amongst your friends and colleges. And for those of you who have the means – space, money, cloths – individuals, church groups and other social service groups and philanthropic types, can take up the challenge to give substantial help.
And please, those of you that have a spiritual bent, assisting in this and project like it, will help lead anyone to better dharma (good karma) – bri
