Help Japan with Fullerton Art Alumni

3.15.2011

Heisuke Kitazawa (a.k.a PCP) and Martin Hsu, two graduates from the Visual Arts Department, have launched mini-campaigns to help victims of the triple tragedy (quake, tsunami, nuclear disaster) that has recently plagued Japan. Kitazawa, who lives in Tokyo, informs us that he is OK: "[we] were safe from the huge earthquake and nuclear radiation that has hit Japan. though there's still a shortage of electricity (no electricity for 6 hours everyday until end of April), water and food even here in Tokyo, we are managing (or at least trying) to get back to our daily life." However, his close friends,Hiroshi and Miki Kobayashi and their two children (4 year old Soua and 7 month old Seina) who live in Miyagi, a city nearly completely destroyed, stay and sleep in an evacuation facility. They are very concerned about some of their own friends and relatives. They don't know of the fate of their home either. They are not allowed to go into the city and are very worried. So Kitazawa has set up a Paypal donation link on his website where you can go to help the Kobayashi family.

On his end, Martin Hsu is also raising funds for the Japanese tragedy victims by using all the proceeds of his art sales to go to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake Relief. Click to shop from his art products and help him help a great cause.
