Japan Earthquake
The March 11th earthquake and tsunami in Japan hit very close to home for Tao Sangha members in Tokyo and Kyoto.
Very soon after the disaster hit the country, relief efforts began, coordinated between the Centres in Tokyo and Kyoto and a Tao Shiatsu student who lives in the Sendai region. Through funding raised locally and in other Tao Sangha Centres world wide, Tao Sangha bought clothing for the people affected and washing machines for the shelters who were suffering from the cold of the early Spring.
Many members from Tao Sangha Japan have visited the area to give much needed supplies and Tao Shiatsu treatments. With the weather changing, the need right now is for refrigeration, and Tao Sangha is planning to buy 10 refrigerators for the shelters in the region.
