Help Heal Japan Charity
I think most people are aware of the situation in Japan. I just wanted to bring this charity to Australian reader’s attention in case they can help at all.
Help Heal Japan is a simple little idea to help raise funds for Japan: Get patrons at Japanese restaurants to donate $2 for chopsticks, which of course is normally free.BMF ad agency took the idea up and within a week we launched the ‘Help Heal Japan’ campaign.
So far we have over 100 Japanese restaurants on board, in 5 states (NSW, ACT, VIC, QLD, WA) with more to come!
Please check out our Facebook page which has all the information, including the growing list of restaurants.

All proceeds go to the Australian Red Cross – Japan and Asia Pacific Disaster Appeal.
I’ve eaten at a lot of the restaurants participating and you’ve probably seen some of them mentioned on this blog before. If you have the means to help, please check the page out.
It’s such a good idea – so simple and not much money at all for something that we would use and just throw away. I went to a photography exhibition tonight where all the photos (they were all of Tokyo) were auctioned off and 100% of the money is being donated to the Red Cross Japan appeal. Thanks, Violet, for bringing this charity to our attention. Japan is such a great place :(

Absolutely agree, I wouldn’t think twice about chopsticks so being able to donate that money to Japan is wonderful. That exhibition sounds wonderful, I hope they were able to raise a lot of money. Japan is a wonderful place and I know they will get through this so I want to do anything I can to help.
