April 7, 2011: Ambassador Sayed M. Amin Fatimie met
with more than 20 prominent representatives of Afghan residents of
Japan at the Embassy in order to show their solidarity with the victims
of March 11th’s tragic Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and to decide upon
ways in which to support the survivors. The representatives, men and
women, encompassed all ethnicities and groups in Afghanistan.
Through the meeting, 415,000 yen was gathered to be dedicated to
purchasing supplies for those in the regions most affected by these
disasters. Attendees vowed to collect further funds from other Afghan
residents who were not present. The supplies will be delivered in person
to the Tohoku region by a group of 14, including three members from the
Embassy, selected by the representatives at a date to be decided later.
The 14-member committee is to be headed by Mr. Jafar Ahmadyar, with Mr.
Haji Hussein serving as treasurer, and Mr. Amin Kohi serving as
auditor.
The members of this session expressed that they were pleased with
this initiative instituted by the Embassy, and promised their resolve to
stand with their Japanese brothers and sisters.
