Hello my dearest customers and friends,
I want to thank many of you for thinking of the well being of my family in Japan. To my relief, my family is doing fine. However, a magnitude 9 earthquake has devastated the whole country with an estimated 10,000 deaths. Monday’s New York Times reported 350,000 people have been left homeless and many thousands remain missing. Japan is also facing potential nuclear disaster as radiation levels are rising after an explosion at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant- at the time of this writing it is already beyond the 3-mile island accident in the US, and the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
I am participating in a charity drive for donations with other Japanese parents from my son’s school. I am extending this to my store at SOHUNG DESIGN (312 E. 9th st.
NYC).

- Gold-filled, big ring earring, choice of various stones. Discounted sale price $10 – 100% donated to the earthquake relief.
- Sterling silver wishbone pendant necklace with 16″ silver chain $58 – 50% donated to the earthquake relief. This can be ordered online here
All contributions will go through the JAPAN SOCIETY, a trusted organization in NYC.

If you can contribute to any trusted Japan earthquake relief efforts, I will be very grateful. Any amount you can give would be greatly appreciated.
