１）フィジー　サイクロンウィンストン被災に関しての救済募金お願い

‘A generous person will prosper: whoever refreshes others will be refreshed’ – Proverbs 11:25

To Whom It May Concern;

Greetings from Embassy of the Republic of Fiji, Tokyo.

The Fiji Embassy in Tokyo (FET) has launched an appeal for the Cyclone Winston Relief Fund to provide assistance to the victims of the Category 5 – Tropical Cyclone Winston.

Tropical Cyclone Winston – the most devastating storm on record in the Southern Hemisphere – ravaged the island nation on the 20-21 of February 2016, taking lives, destroying homes and livelihoods, and cutting many Fijians off from utilities, telecommunications and essential medical services.

Reports indicate the scale of destruction is beyond anything experienced before in Fiji. As of now, the death toll stands at 43, with countless injured. Public infrastructure have been devastated, homes shattered, schools ravaged, communities and livelihoods destroyed. Material loss aside, Cyclone Winston in its wake, has left behind debris of anguish and despair for whole entire Fijian communities.

In response to this disaster, the Fijian Government together with its domestic and international partners are working hard to coordinate recovery and rehabilitation efforts. There is a great need for additional resources to urgently address the needs of affected Fijians and assist with the rebuilding process.

The full cost and extent of the damage suffered by the people of Fiji will not be known for a few weeks. Disaster Assessment Teams have started their task of mapping the extent of the damage. Early estimates from the Fiji Government puts the cost of the damage to infrastructures, homes and agriculture at around F$1 billion. This is expected to increase as firmer assessments are received. This nonetheless, excludes what government has to do in terms of building mitigation measures.

The FET welcomes any financial contribution/donation towards the Cyclone Winston Relief Fund Appeal, which will be channelled to the Fijian Government Cyclone Relief Fund, to support the Fijian Government’s work in the rehabilitation efforts and assistance for those whose homes and livelihoods have been affected. In seeking assistance for those affected, we are reminded of the bible’s assurance for those that give a helping hand to those in need – ‘Give and it shall be given to you’ – Luke 6: 38.

Your contributions will go a long way in making a difference to someone’s life in Fiji in the next coming weeks.

The bank and account details to which you may deposit your contribution in is as follows:

Name of Bank: Mizuho Bank

Branch Name: Kamiyacho Branch

Account Name: FET Cyclone Winston Relief Fund

Account Number: 1382564 (Ordinary account)

Please include your names or organizations in the narration.

Despite being resilient people, the Fijians will still draw a lot of inspiration from your kindness, knowing that humanity stood with them in their time of great need.
