ReplyDeleteThank you for your interest in donation.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to Iwate Kyodo Bokin-kai, a credible organization where you can donate through. The money you donate from this organization directly goes to the victims in Iwate prefecture. You can find a link to engilsh pdf file from there.
