PWRDF taking donations for Japan March 14, 2011

PWRDF is taking donations designated for disaster relief in Japan. Donations for relief work will be forwarded to the Anglican Church of Japan and partner organizations such as Church World Service.

The 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011 was one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history resulting in widespread destruction, fears of radiation and a powerful tsunami. PWRDF extends its deepest sympathy and prayers to all those affected. http://news.anglican.ca/news/stories/2341.

The Most Rev. Nathaniel Makoto Uematsu Archbishop of the Anglican Church in Japan (Nippon Sei Ko Kai) http://news.anglican.ca/news/stories/2342 has stated, “At a Provincial level I am working to establish a structure for responding to this unprecedented natural disaster as soon as possible. This will include providing relief and sourcing volunteers and funding to help with the restoration of the affected areas. I am also trying to find more accurate information about our church family and the relief efforts, and to communicate that information as quickly as possible”.

PWRDF will work with the Anglican Church in Japan, the Anglican Alliance and ACT Alliance to monitor this situation in the coming days and process designated donations for Japan earthquake relief.
