Contribute: Aid Items to Flooded Areas Part 2🎁

Sairam,

We have received a message from the Kagoshima Group who have been delivering aid items to Hitoyoshi City, and Kuma District, which have been most affected by the damage due to the heavy rain.

There are currently around 20,000 members of the Japan Self Defence Force on site helping with the rescuing and sheltering of the victims. Despite the persistent rain, the residents return home between showers, to strip damaged floors due to flooding, take out furniture, and shovel out dirt collected in the house. The victims are short of hands due to external volunteers unable to enter. This is especially the case in Kuma District, made up mostly of aged residents, who are fatigued and unable to move forward with restoration and cleaning up.

As the ward office is only accepting large quantities of aid, the volunteers and workers were delighted to directly receive donations of old towels, or rubber gloves from SSIOJ.

Currently, these areas are lacking new towels for wiping sweat, old/used towels for cleaning, and rubber gloves to use for work.

If anyone is willing to donate these goods, please do so using the TAKKYUBIN CENTER UKETORI SERVICE (english website : Yamato TA-Q-BIN Delivery Center Pickup Service), keeping in mind the points below :

1. Try to combine the goods in as big of a box as possible. We recommend you send the goods with multiple people.
2. Please put one type of good (either new towels, old towels, or rubber gloves) in one box.
3. Please write "KYUEN BUSSHI" on an A4 sized paper, and stick it on the side of the box with tape.
4. We request that you kindly bear the delivery charges.
5. After posting, please verify the estimated arrival date of the package.

Please fill in the takkyubin form accordingly as per the following:
