Exciting news! Once again, GlobalGiving, the US-based charity fundraising website, has announced a donation matching campaign for Tohoku projects. As in the previous year, GlobalGiving will match all donations by 100% (maximum $1,000 per donation) until their funds of US$100,000 run out. In the last two campaigns, we received donations from hundreds of donors throughout the world. We would like to express our most heartfelt thanks to all those who donated so generously during this campaign.
In commemoration of the tragic events that occurred in northeast Japan, this year's matching campaign will begin on March 11, 2014. At Hands On Tokyo, our goal is to raise US$15,000 in this campaign. With 100% matching from GlobalGiving, it is an extraordinary opportunity to make your donations go twice as far. We hope you will help us again in support of our Tohoku Projects.
This campaign is a reminder of just how much there is still left to do after three years from the Great East Japan earthquake. To this end, Hands On Tokyo is dedicated to continuing its programs in Tohoku to support the rebuilding and recovery of the region. O-Link House, our community center in Ogatsu, Miyagi-ken, was completed last spring and has since been hosting numerous activities. Please help us provide ongoing and sustainable community development in Ogatsu and other areas affected by the tragedy.
Please help spread the word about this important opportunity to support our Tohoku Projects. Below is the link to our project on the GlobalGiving site:

Thank you for your generosity and continued support.
