from NY de Volunteer
Dear Friends & Supporters,
I am writing to thank
all of your suppor and
give you an update on our achievements this past year as well as
our goals for a very special next year—our
10th Anniversary!
We
kindly ask for your donations as
our supporting foundations and government institutions have sustained
large budget cuts, severely limiting programs we can offer. This
school year, our largest grant from the City of New York for the
"Explore Japanese Culture" (EJC) program was frozen due
to such cuts.
Nonetheless, the excitement we have garnered from the children in
EJC—their smiling faces, and their “ah-ha!” moments
as they learn new things about Japanese culture from real Japanese
people—reminds us that we cannot simply abandon our efforts
for the program.
Please
help us to help others.
Any gift you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
