Art Auctions for Japanese Disaster Relief

Dear Friends,

Please pass this blog post to others interested in donation.
I found the auction info at Iain's blog.
Iain Stewart Watercolors
Further, Iain has set the blog, Art Auctions for Japanese Disaster Relief.
The website tells "Beginning bid: $50" and contact each artist listed there.
In Australia, sakura(=cherry blossom) like trees always remind me of Japan. The news was shocking, as if the landscapes were like WWII or after the atomic bomb. I could not hold tears.
Japanese people, you're not alone! Hang in there and pull yourself together. You've already shown great courage and amazing discipline in this dreadful catastrophe.
I hope everything works out for the best.
Kind regards,
Sadami

    Dear Teresa,
    All family are in Australia.
    But as a same human being on the earth, I feel pain. Iain, Keiko(originally, her idea), other artists are generously offering works. I want to join it, but I still do not know how to handle money over internet. So, I try to ad or send the Auctions info to others as many as possible.
    Thank you for the kind cheers.
    Hugs and love, Sadami

    Japan is our minds, Sadami. I'm watching the news. An elderly woman and her grandson have survived after all these days. There's still hope. Hugs and love, Sadami.

    Sadami, en español, porque mi inglés es muy precario, un abrazo y mis mejores deseos para ti y para tu nación, la pérdida es muy grande. Para muchas personas en Japón, ya nada será igual, sin embargo encuentro imágenes y noticias de verdaderos héroes y sobrevivientes que demuestran la grandeza y valor de un pueblo que sabe unirse, enfrentar la adversidad y transformar su realidad.
    A través de la distancia, elevo una oración para que vuelva la calma a tu país de origen y al corazón de las personas que han perdido seres queridos o pertenencias.

    ¡Oh, Sand, que está tan amable!
    Hoy en día, tengo dos japoneses gracias mensajes para cualquier persona que alienta a que te gusta. Por favor sigan orando por los japoneses víctimas. Yo, también, hacer algo a nivel de base.
    El amor y la sonrisa, Sadami

    Oh, Sand, you're so kind!!!
    Today, I've got two Japanese thank you messages for anyone who encourages them like you. Please keep praying for the victimized Japanese. Me, too, do something at a grass root level.
    Love and smile, Sadami

    Sadami, in Spanish, because my English is very poor, a hug and my best wishes to you and your nation, the loss is great. For many people in Japan, nothing will be the same, yet I find pictures and news of heroes and survivors who demonstrate the greatness and courage of a people who know together, facing adversity and transform their reality.
    Through the distance, I offer a prayer for the return of calm to your home country and the hearts of people who have lost loved ones or possessions.
