JSA Charity Yoga on KMPH26 Great Day

Hello all.
This is Tomoki.

In this morning, we did yoga at Peace Garden on campus. It was broadcasted on KMPH Fox 26 Great Day (Local morning live show).
We gathered at Peace Garden at 4:30 a.m., but there was a car chase in Madera this morning, and they reported it, so our actual yoga event began around 6 a.m.
They broadcasted our yoga sessions, and we had interviews from the reporter, Mr. Clayton.



Due to this event, we could show what we are doing to the community. Also, we could advertise our yard sale on this Sunday, May 1.
Thank you all who joint this event!!

Charity Yoga: Day 2

Hi everyone! this is Madoka.
I joined yoga today.
We had about 10 people and collected $55 from them. YAY!!
I almost fell down on the floor, but it was really good exercise to release daily stress.
I appreciate people who concerned Japan earthquake damages.
JSA keep up supporting Japan with many kinds of people who are different religion and races.
We can do it!!

Fresno State Softball Game Fundraising

This was the fourth event on this Friday.
We got an opportunity to collect donations at the softball stadium in a Fresno State softball game against Hawai'i State.
It was on ESPN and one of good games in this season, so many people visited to the game.
In addition, we could have our table by the entrance, so we could ask many people to donate.



Especially, I remember a lady I asked to donate.
She said she wanted to donate for earthquake and tsunami relief in Japan but had no idea where she should have donated to. Then she put $50 into my donation box.
I think I wrote this in a past post, but I really feel how people concern about Japan.
Also, I feel responsibility to succeed our events in this semester and to send the money to Japan.

As I wrote in the last post, on Monday, we will count the amount of donation we got on Friday.

Thank Hiromi-san, Akira, and Asumi for helping this event.

Maple Mall Fundraising: Day 2

The second day of our fundraising event at the Maple Mall has done yesterday.
I did not know the area is called "Maple Mall," but it is the area located at south to the Satellite Student Union.

Anyway, although it was a really hot day, many volunteers helped this event.
Thank you for helping JSA.
Unfortunately, I could only stay at the table for 2 hours, but I heard we could get a good amount of donations, especially around noon.

The amount of donations we collected will be counted on Monday because four events happened on this Friday.
Once we finish counting, I will post how much donations we got in each event.
