Regarding the implementation of the "Emergency Fundraising Campaign for the Disaster-Stricken Areas of the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake" (Statement of Purpose)
Main content
The 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake has threatened many precious lives and caused immense damage to homes and infrastructure. Many people are still forced to live in evacuation centers and are spending their days in anxiety.
"To accept one person's pain as our own, and to serve our neighbor through prayer and action."
Each individual act of kindness is invaluable. When these compassionate hearts come together, they become a great source of hope that reaches the disaster-stricken areas.
"To accept one person's pain as our own, and to serve our neighbor through prayer and action."
That is the practice of the Christian spirit that we at Obirin Gakuen have cherished since our founding.
With heartfelt sympathy for the suffering of those affected by the disaster, and with the hope of a swift recovery and reconstruction, we are launching this "Emergency Fundraising Campaign for Disaster Relief."
The donations we receive from everyone will be collected responsibly by Obirin Gakuen and donated in full to support the disaster-stricken areas. Based on the situation in the affected areas, we will select the support organization that is most in need and send the funds accordingly.
Each individual act of kindness is invaluable. When these compassionate hearts come together, they become a great source of hope that reaches the disaster-stricken areas.
We sincerely request the warm cooperation of all faculty and staff, students, kindergarteners, parents, alumni, and everyone involved with the school.
