ART FOR JAPAN

Since the disaster caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I've been anxious about people who are suffering and the situation with the nuclear power plants. I know my worrying doesn't help anything, but I can't stop thinking about those affected by the disaster. I did donate a little money, and also I'll participate in this event to donate one of my pieces of artwork for the fundraiser project "ART for Japan". The event is being held at "Studio 57 Fine Arts", 211 West 57th Street (between Seventh Ave. and Broadway) from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Artists are donating works for sale to raise funds at the event. All work will be sold for $200 or less. Payment by cash or check only. Please help Japan! 100人のニューヨークのアーティストが参加するこのイベントは、寄付した作品を200ドル以下で販売し、その支援基金は100%ユニセフから被災された人々に使われます。支払いはキャシュとチェックのみ。 場所:Studio 57 Fine Arts 211 West 7th Street, New York, Ny 10019 (bet 7th Ave & Broadway) 日時:476時から8時まで 3月11日に起きた東北関東大震災は、ニュースで知った、TVからの画像はとっても信じがたい状況にショックで胸が痛くなった。未だに沢山の人が辛い思いをしている事そして原発の被害が人へそして、食品や家畜へ...不安な気持ちで過ごしている人も多いと思うと心苦しくなります。でも私がいくら心配しても何の助けにもならないことは解っていても心配で仕方ありません。ニューヨークに住んでいる私に何が出来るか? お金の寄付や私の作品を寄付して基金を募るしか来ません。 ぜひいらして下さい。がんばれ日本!

Dear Mayumi,
it's just terrible, what happened in Tohoku. We also doanted to help. There is not much I can actually do, but I try to stay strong over here. In March I visited Nagasaki. It gave me hope and faith, because this adorable city survived a disaster 87x worse regarding radiation damage, than Fukushima. People need to see that too. Not to play Fukushima down, but also to see that there is HOPE in the future.
