Tsunami Fund ...>
Introduction
26th December 2004 saw one of the worst natural disasters in living history
when an 8.9 magnitude earthquake occurred under the sea near Aceh in Northern
Indonesia, triggering a massive tsunami. The tsunami hit several countries
including Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, The Maldives, India, Malaysia and
Bangladesh killing hundreds of thousands of people and destroying millions of
homes. A first hand
report from Aceh, Indonesia written by Aziz Chandra, (Head Instructor of
Shorinji Kempo Aceh Region) can be found on the WSKO web site.
People around the world have donated millions of pounds to charity to aid the
survivors of this disaster but more is needed. WSKO sent a call out to all
Shorinji Kempo clubs around the world to help raise more money.
South Coast Fund Raising
On 21st January 2005 members from the Bournemouth, Southampton University,
Poole, Southampton and Oxford Shorinji Kempo clubs and the Okinawa Goju- Ryu Karate club
[which trains at the Littledown Centre] came together for a fund raising event.
Kenshi, including juniors aged as young as 7, took part in performing an
exhausting 1,000 kicks and punches followed by a technical training session. All
adults who took part donated £10 and the juniors made various donations from
their pocket money. Some Kenshi who were unable to attend also donated money to
the fund.
On the night the total raised was £1,060.98 with additional donations this
figure has risen to £1,100.
