As we all know, on March 11, the northern coast of Japan was devastated by an enormous tsunami triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. Entire coastal towns were wiped out and many were lost. In the aftermath, survivors were left with limited resources of food, clothing, water, gasoline, and health care. The Japanese people need our help during this crisis.
To show our support, Feel Well Acupuncture is honored to offer a special session of Sama-Sama Community Acupuncture that would benefit disaster relief efforts in Japan. In the spirit of Sama-Sama, together as a community, we can send our collective thoughts, prayers, healing energy, and love to the people of Japan. By supporting the organizations listed below, we can provide the survivors of this disaster with much needed resources in the form of food, supplies, and health care. 100% of donations received will be split between these two organizations:
Acupuncturists Without Borders: www.acuwithoutborders.org
AWB's mission is to provide immediate relief and recovery acupuncture services to global communities that are in crisis from disaster or human conflict. AWB also seeks to provide training and services to global communities that promote and sustain local self-directed, self-sufficient, proactive and long-term recovery, rebuilding and trauma (including PTSD) resolution. AWB provided acupuncture services following Hurricane Katrina and the earthquakes in both Haiti and Chile last year. For more information on their efforts to aid Japan, please click here.
The Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund: www.globalgiving.org
Launched through GlobalGiving.org, this project will disburse funds to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami. GlobalGiving is working with International Medical Corps, Save the Children, and other organizations on the ground.
Acupuncture for Japan will be held on Saturday, April 2 at MOSAIC Yoga [830 25th St. Suite 203, San Diego 92102] in Golden Hill from 12noon - 2pm. Any contribution you are willing to give whether it be monetary or just a simple thought or prayer will be most appreciated. To participate in Sama-Sama Community Acupuncture, please bring a yoga mat. Light refreshments will be provided during this special event. Please spread the word and thank you for your support! See you then!
