「ワシントンD.C.沖縄会の未来に残したい沖縄の宝もの」

This is a picture of “Chimugukuru box,” created by Mieko Maeshiro, the president of Okinawa kai 2011-2012.  Upon the Tohoku disaster, we tried to do “what we can do” as an organization, and we came up with this fund-raising effort.  We raised around $6,300 and was donated to “Direct Relief International,” NGO based in CA, who promised to use 100% of donated money for the victims in Tohoku.  “Okinawa no takaramono” is “the heart of Uchina-nchu.”  This is something that we should not lose as an Okinawan.  Wherever we are, we try to help each other as long as we can – this is the Okinawan spirit!  This Chimugukuru Fund showed our “chimugukuru – omoi,” and this box represents our effort.
