Dozens of Dominicans gathered for a 'kizuna' ceremony over the weekend to bond with the people of Japan. Donations and an altar of flowers in solidarity with the victims of the 11 March earthquake were set up. The Japanese flag was displayed on a giant screen and more than 800 people signed their names in a book of condolences at the Salon Manuel del Cabral of the UASD state university library. The ceremony was headed by Japanese Ambassador Souichi Sato.
Participants purchased RD$500 T-shirts to contribute to earthquake relief. The event was organized by the Association of Former Japan Scholarship Holders, JICA and the Japanese Embassy, as reported in Hoy.
