First batch of relief supplies delivered to Japan (王明仁)
The Red Cross Society of the Republic of China yesterday announced it would work with convenience store chains 7-Eleven and FamilyMart to collect donations for relief efforts in tsunami-ravaged Japan.
The organization said that starting today, people who want to donate small amounts of money — ranging from NT$100 (US$3.40) to NT$20,000 — could do so through the electronic kiosks found in stores of the two chains.
The Taiwan Fund for Children and Families has also launched a fundraising drive, in part to recognize Japan’s assistance to Taiwan in the past.
Wang Ming-jen (王明仁), the group’s executive director, said that in the wake of the 921 Earthquake in 1999, Japanese groups such as Childfund Japan not only donated money, but sent officials several times to express their concern.
