Fund-Raising for the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes
In the wake of the devastating earthquake hit the Kyushu region, students at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) launched a project named ‘Move for Kyushu’ with an aim to aid victims of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes. As of this moment, about 150 students are involved in the project. Students at Ritsumeikan started fund-raising activities at Gion-Shijo station, Kinugasa Campus and Biwako-Kusatsu Campus, in response to the APU project. The activities at Osaka Ibaraki Campus will be started next Monday.
APU is a sister university of Ritsumeikan University and there are about 90 students per year (a total number of students dispatched for one semester, one year or summer session) to study at APU as domestic exchange students. One of such students, Miho Nakamura (3rd year, College of Letters), established Move for Kyushu Ritsumeikan Chapter and started the fund-raising activities at Ritsumeikan with about 100 members (About half of them are from Kyushu).
They are raising donations during lunch time in the vicinity of Ryoyukan and Shitokukan Halls at Kinugasa Campus, Union Square and Link Square at BKC.
