Worldhelpforjapan

World Help for Japan is a global movement for performing musicians to ply their talents to benefit Japanan disaster relief efforts, now. All proceeds go directly to the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund, Bill Clinton’s Japan Relief Fund, and the American Red Cross International Response Fund.

WE ARE A MOVEMENT… NOT A CHARITY ORGANIZATION AND WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY MONEY.

International Medical Corps An International Medical Corps emergency response team is on the ground in Japan and is coordinating with local officials to support response efforts and fill critical gaps.
