St Pancras Church, Euston Road, London NW1 2BA
Organised by the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation
The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation welcomed Ichiko Aoba, classical guitarist, to perform in St Pancras Church, London. The concert was in aid of the children of Fukushima, who have been suffering from the effects of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami disasters.
The Foundation supported Academy Camp, a Japanese charity helping and supporting the children of Fukushima to expand their experience of study by taking them to academic camps. Donations were made to Academy Camp online through GlobalGiving, a crowdfunding service for non-profits around the world.
