Unlike other charitable organizations, JAMBO does not require membership fees or send frequent mailings asking for donations. Having now become an official volunteer organization in Koto Ward and a US NPO, we have been asked to make a membership list. We would greatly appreciate it if you would become an “official” member. There is no obligation. All you have to do is write “I want to be a JAMBO member” and send your name, postal address, phone number and email address. We promise not to pass this information on to other groups.
Kijin Higashibaba will come to Japan for 2-3 months (from June 23) from the US as a Jambo intern. One of her projects is to interview “The People of JAMBO” (mainly in English). We would like to make a page of active JAMBO participants and volunteers. Please help us out and let Kijin interview you for our Facebook and website. It will really help us out, and help others understand better what JAMBO is all about. If you kindly accept, Kijin will contact you and set up an interview time and place.
Contact for either of the above can be made to David at contact@jambointernational.org.
Any other suggestions on how we can better market JAMBO would also be much appreciated. And hope you all get a chance to meet Kijin at the welcome party, which is on June 24 (on the JAMBO schedule).
This month’s donations go to Japan Environmental Action Network and Kanagawa Coastal Environmental Foundation, 2 groups which carry out activities to clean up Japan’s oceans and rivers.
