ORGANIZER: Fellowship for Japan
Fellowship for Japan is a coalition of Japan Relief organizations.
Since the 3.11 earthquake and tsunami, many Japan Relief organizations have been created.
As many organizations work to support Japan Relief efforts,
we believe that the best way to support Japan is by working together and collaborating.
