Donation Box Team got Supports from NEMO sushi, Tomo sushi, and Orz Bubble Tea House!!!!

Okaaaaay, it has been a long time to post but it does not mean that we have not done anything!! We were crazy busy! and it turned out that we almost came to finish our project….. but still there is so much to tell! So, I will go back on track and tell you our glory of historical moments and our strong supporters!!
In our project, the last team to introduce you is the donation box team!!
First, in order to attain attention as much as possible and to make recognizable, they made cute creative donation boxes using plastic bottles (of course we are environmentally friendly) with little Japanese flags. They are small enough to be located close to the casher at any stores! Also, yes they are smarty donation box team!! Beside the bottle, they create a note for all donors to inform what our campaign is for!


When the boxes were ready to hand out, their next task was NEGOTIATION!!! Yes, they had struggled in the first place as we did not have an official support from Red Cross Canada. As many Japanese do not have cars, a group went around Nanaimo by car and others…..WALK!!! and stop by many stores as much as they could. In the beginning, they did not know how to start talking to the managers and owners, but what they actually encountered was warm welcomes from many restaurants in Nanaimo!! Those restaurants supported us by locating our donation box were…

While donation team was first time for negotiation and very nervous, the owner welcomed them and allowed them to locate the box! Thank you so much!

The owner was very supportive and right away he approved the team to locate the box! When the team took the box out and tried to put at the cashier table, a customer put $5 right away!
Also, later on, when the team visited Orz Bubble Tea store to collect the box, he also personally donated us $ 200!! How thoughtful the owner is!!! Thank you so much for your understanding and support!!
We have more Nanaimo supporters coming up!!!
