Neconote Flea Market for Tohoku Vol. 1 ねこのてフリーマーケット for 東北 Vol.1 @Kyoto 京都 Oct. 21

Neconote Team at Charity Event in Shiga December 2011

We are still a long way from recovery in Tohoku. At Neconote we believe that every contribution counts! Building upon previous and ongoing Kansai-based efforts to support revitilization in the disaster areas, we hope to continue with that momentum with the bi-annual Neconote Flea Market for Disaster Recovery. All funds will be contributed to local organizations in Tohoku (More details below). Hope to see you on the 21st!

震災直後に比べれば、ずいぶん復興に近づいてはいますが、まだまだ深刻な状況です。特に、漁業関係を始めとした仕事の復旧が困難を極めています。何故かと言うと、国へ申請したものの、許可が下りていない為です。

そこで、阿部水産さんや亀七さんの様に、何か商品を売って復興に繋げようとしている方々がたくさんいます。少しでも力になれればと思って通販の可能な商品を揃えてフリーマーケットを催します。ご協力頂ければ助かります。
