Janolo entered her first pageant when she was 15 years old, winning the Miss Florida Junior Teen title for the National American Miss System while competing in the Miss America system for 6 years. She was com-peted as Miss Winter Park, an official preliminary to Miss Florida.

Janolo is the third consecutive Knight to win the Miss Florida pageant as fellow beauties Rachael Todd and Jacqueline Raulerson won Miss Florida 2009 and 2010, respectively.

On July 17th, 2011, After the final game finished 2–2 after overtime, Japan stunned the United States 3–1 in a penalty shootout in the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final, becoming the first Asian team to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

A selection of the best female players in Japan, the Japan women’s national football team “Nadeshiko Japan” is run by the Japan Football As-sociation (JFA).

Empowering Asian Americans in FloridaOn June 16-17, 2011, more than 50 Asian

American community leaders gathered in Fort Lauderdale during the Annual Summit of the Asian American Federation of Florida (AAFF), to discuss economic development, issues and op-portunities that impact their communities, organi-zations, and businesses. This was done in con-junction with the Florida Economic Development Summit hosted by Let’s Do Business Florida and Florida Minority Community Reinvestment Coali-tion (FMCRC).

Key members of the White House and Fed-eral agencies including Minority Development Business Agency (MBDA), HUD, and Department of Labor identified the need for public services and resources in the context job creation in low-and-moderate income communities, and suc-cessful approaches for addressing these needs. The panelists explored federal efforts to support job creation development in low-and-moderate income communities, including the challenges of access to community economic development

capital for nonprofits that serve minority and un-derserved communities.

Jeanette Lee, Staff Attorney for the Asian American Justice Center’s Affirmative Action Pro-gram, talked about the necessity and effective-ness of minority contracting programs in public and private sectors, and encouraged Florida Asian American business owners and organiza-tions to share and write their experiences in gov-ernment and corporate contracting. Jessica Chia, NAPABA Law Foundation Partners and In-House Counsel Community Law Fellow at the Asian American Justice Center, discussed the DREAM Act and the need for community advocacy. Dr. Antonio Wong, Medical Director of Doctors Plus, gave an update on affordable health care and its impact on the Asian community. Ahn Nguyen, Atlanta Region Partnership and Data Specialist from the U.S. Census Bureau, summarized the latest statistical data for Asian Americans in Flori-da and gave a hands-on workshop at the NANAY Community Center on how to access online data

from the Census. Mikki Canton, Founder and CEO of Asia-Americana International LLC and Senior Public Policy Advisor to the Mayor of the City of Miami for Public/Private Partnerships and International Alliances, presented plans to set up an Asia Americana International District in Miami. ASIA Affinity Group gave free visual screening to the Summit attendees and a power point presen-tation on Health Vision.

The highlight of the AAFF Summit was a pan-el presentation by student leaders who partici-pated in the AAFF Youth Essay Contest on “How To Empower Youth To Become Future Leaders of Our Community”. Lawrence Wong and Catherine Wong from the University of Miami garnered the First and Second Prizes, while Alyssa Wang from the University of Florida won the Third Prize.

Reynolds, Vice President of the University of Florida Student Body and Chief Executive Officer of the Student Government Cabinet.

“AAFF would like to encourage youth participation and identify future com-munity leaders that can be mentored and who can potentially bring Asian Amer-icans in Florida to a higher level of achievement,” said AAFF President Dr Joy Bruce.

As a result of this initiative, the AAFF Board members unanimously agreed to create a new AAFF Youth Council, that will initially be headed by Anthony Reynolds and Lawrence Wong.

The next AAFF meeting will be held on October 15-16, 2011 at Double Tree Hotel in Orlando, Florida, and will include a 4-hour workshop on the business requirements for Government Contracting to be facilitated by Atlanta-based President of Government Contractors Association, Abe Xiong, who will share vital information on how to register, prepare and successfully negotiate for gov-ernment contracts.

The Asian American Federation of Florida (AAFF) is also planning to include Voters Education and Advocacy in its next meeting agenda, with specific focus on the Alien Land Law (Florida is the only State that still has this provision dis-criminating and prohibiting Asians from owning properties). The current Florida Census data will be utilized to design initiatives for advocacy and empower-ment, which includes voters’ registration and youth mobilization.

Mills 50 – The Intersection of Creativity + Culture

Mills 50, the Intersection of Creativity + Cul-ture, is a centrally located, unpretentious, urban district. Taking its name from the intersection of Mills Avenue and State Road 50, Mills 50 is a vibrant, culturally diverse, progressively minded and eclectic mix of artists, restaurants, business-es, specialty shops, markets, neighborhoods and residents.

Mills 50 is a non-profit entity made possible through the support and interests of the Nation-al Trust Main Street Center, the City of Orlando and the district’s members and volunteers. The goal of Mills 50 and area business owners is to increase the area’s visibility as a destination as

well as to improve its overall appeal and financial & environmental sustainability. We want to make the district safer to commuter traffic and pedes-trians as well as encourage responsible and environmentally friendly growth and redevelop-ment while ensuring and preserving the district’s unique character, charm and appeal.

Mills 50 has undertaken a number of beauti-fication projects within the district, including the pole banners on Colonial and Mills which help “brand” the district. Additionally, nine metal traffic engineering utility boxes were transformed into works of art by local artists. Mills 50 planted eight (8) Chinese fan palms at the intersections of Mills

and Marks and Mills and Highland and is main-taining them through its “GreenUp” work days.

Mills 50’s financial support depends on mem-berships, both business and residential. Resi-dential memberships are $25, while business memberships range from $100 to $5000. Mem-bership information is available at www.mills50.org. Mills 50 produces several fundraising events each year, including “GreenFest”, “Taste of Mills 50” and “Jingle ‘n Mingle.” The organization also hosts bi-monthly Business After Hours network-ing events and Business Power Hours, which provide an opportunity for business owners to get together to discuss area issues and concerns.

The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, with the day to day opera-tions managed by a salaried Executive Director. Volunteers are needed to serve on the four com-mittees: Design, Promotion, Organization and Economic Restructuring. The organization seeks representation from the Asian community, which is the cultural cornerstone of the District. If you are interested in joining Mills 50 as a member or a volunteer, please contact the Director at [email protected].

The sound of Chinese Yo-Yos rolling against the concrete floor ac-companied by the sound of nylon string rubbing against its metal axle was heard throughout the morning. These students were learning how to start their Chinese Yo-Yos at the 2011 Chinese Yo-Yo Camp Sum-mer Camp in Orlando and Jacksonville. The camp was organized by the Central Florida Chinese American Youth Association (CFCAYA) and sponsored by the Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission, R.O.C. More than 30 students, ages 7 to 65, attended the camp to learn about this traditional Chinese folk art.

C.K. Lau By Catherine WongAAFF Youth Council at the LDBF Summit

After attending the summit, what can you reflect upon?

Lawrence Wong: My immediate reaction was optimism. I was glad to see an organization as the large AAFF take direct action for the youth, and I was glad to be a part of it.

Alyssa Wang: As a Chinese-American, I have lived most of my life in predominantly white neighborhoods. I grew up not knowing much about my heritage and what makes being Asian-American so special. It was only after attending

the summit that I realized how deep and extensive the Asian-American community is in Florida, and I saw how much they contribute and affect their communities. I saw that they can give people a stronger meaning in life and an uplifting pride of who they are.

Anthony Reynolds: The summit was an incredible opportunity to meet individuals who shared the same passion I have for Florida’s APIA community. It was great to hear what projects and initiatives other groups have been working on in different parts of the state – the summit provided a forum for everyone to share knowledge and information with one another, allowing us all to learn from each other’s success and provide a platform for future collaboration.

Catherine Wong: After attending the summit, I have gained a greater insight on the mission of

At the LDBF/AAFF summit, the Asian Ameri-can Federation of Florida (AAFF) Youth Council

was formed. While participating in a student panel based on empowering Asian-American

youth, several student panelists discussed about different approaches and project ideas to empower Asian-American youth. With this,

there was enough motivation and participation to form the AAFF Youth Council, and the first meeting was held immediately after the panel adjourned. Now that the AAFF Youth Council

is formed, they are actively seeking motivated youth to take part in their ambitions to ultimate-

ly serve the Asian-American society to its fullest potential. Upon posing some questions to

a few panelists who participated, all of whom currently attend universities in the state of

Florida, here are the responses they provided:

AAFF and the importance of the contribution of youth to AAFF.Throughout the conference, I have experienced a great welcoming feeling as minori-ties from all cultures were brought together to col-laborate with ideas and experiences to gain that motivation and wisdom from others, providing the resources necessary to succeed and achieve goals. In the youth panel I took part in, I met with and listened to the vantage points of other youths to fully understand what we must do in order to succeed with our ultimate goal of empowerment. To my surprise, I realized that for the most part everyone submitting their ideas and providing their inputs tackled youth empowerment from different angles, offering different perspectives which definitely expanded my mindset and kept it open as we collaborated in a meeting following the panel.

Catherine Wong, is currently a rising junior at the University of Miami, working on a degree toward Microbiology/Immunology and Health Sector Management and Policy. She participated in the LDBF/AAFF Summit as a youth discussion panelist and currently sits on the Executive Board of the AAFF Youth Council as Administrative Director.

Why is empowering the Asian-American youth imperative, in your opinion?

Lawrence Wong: Empowering youth is a long-term play for stron-ger future leadership. In my opinion, a lot of who we are results from how we established ourselves in the past. Following that logic, if we want powerful leaders for the future and in the long-term, the com-munity needs to identify and empower talent while they’re young and underdeveloped. That way, we make the right people the best that they can be.

Alyssa Wang: Without a continuous flow of Asian-American leaders in the community, how can our efforts remain consistent and remembered? While we have current leaders, youth are the future leaders. They need to continually maintain the relations and connec-tions over and over. It should be a continuous cycle in order to achieve the ultimate goal of a unified Asian-American community in Florida.

Anthony Reynolds: While it’s been said many times before, I truly believe the youth are the future of the great state of Florida and our Na-tion as a whole. Oftentimes many of my peers lose interest and passion for their heritage and culture – I’m so grateful my parents ingrained in me a powerful pride in my Filipino-American background. It is so crucial for our community that we re-ignite the spirit of pride in one’s culture

among the youth. Without a passion for our culture, our community is at risk of losing its identity. The very fabric of Florida’s APIA population rests entirely in the willingness of my generation to continue what our parents and grandparents have laid the groundwork for. This is what drives me – the compelling sentiment that should my peers and I fail to preserve our culture and heritage, the identity of being a Filipino-Amer-ican and an Asian-American in Florida would be forever changed.

Catherine Wong: The youth must be targeted as soon as pos-sible because they hold the keys to the future, what our society and planet will become. With this, it is important for youth to realize that they are needed as much as adults are to forward society. The youth also provide more energy and vitality to current projects, which in turn can result in a more successful end product. Especially with the time that is able to be implemented, the youth can definitely be a big help in accomplishing projects, and are usually willing to do so. After all, they are depended upon to take over existing professions and positions. The sooner youth are being reached out to the better it is to prevent the tragedy of closed-mindedness and ignorance.

Dr. Robert Spooney, President of the African American Chamber of Commerce added that the respon-sibility was on the individual members to keep the momentum going and encouraged partici-pation all around. The proclamation specifi-cally states that the three Chambers strongly believe that by sharing ideas, increasing co-operation, conducting joint events and mutu-

Congratulations to the students of Rising Sun Dojo in Kissimmee for the winning of 4 AAU Karate National Championships titles. The dojo took 6 students to the tournament entered into a total of 16 events: Kobudo- traditional okinawan weapons; Kata-forms; and Kumite- 3 point spar-raing matches. In all the students won a total of 12 medals- 4 Gold, 4 Silver, and 4 Bronze.

Competition is divided up by age, and by ex-perience levels - Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced or Black Belt. The final results in the Jr Divisions was as follows:

John Campbell - male 16 yrs, Intermediate -

AAU Karate National Championships

1st Kobudo, 3rd Kumite

Ashley Owens - female 16 yrs, Novice - 1st Kumite, 3rd Kata

Bradley Hernandez - male 15yrs, Novice - 1st Kata, 2nd Kobudo, 3rd Kumite(tie)

Felix Ortiz - male 15 yrs, Novice - 1st Kobudo, 2nd Kata, 3rd Kumite (tie)

Logan Owens - male 13 yrs, Novice - 2nd Ko-budo, 2nd Kata

The AAU (Amature Athletic Union) is the larg-est organization of itʼs type in the US and qualifing to compete at the national level requires athletes

to first compete in either the Florida East or West District Qualifier tournament earlier this year. Placing in the top 8 at this competition qualifies the athelete to compete in the Florida Regional Qualifier tournament in May, and placing in the top 4 at the regional event qualifies the athe-letes to compete in the national championship. And finally, winning a gold medal in the National championship qualifies that person to compete in the upcoming Junior Olympics in New Orleans at the end of July. Winners in the adult divisions go on to compete in the PanAm Games on the US Team.

What is most amazing is that this is the first year our dojo has competed in the AAU tourna-ments, and first time any of our students have competed in a national competetiton. In the 4 years prior to the AAU tournament that our dojo has been open, we have only competed in two other tournaments. Choosing to focus on true ef-fective self defense and helping to develop our students physically, mentally, and spirtually. While our focus as a dojo has not changed, as instruc-tors we are especially proud that our students were able to place so well using strong effective techniqueʼs deeply rooted in the basicʼs rather than the flashy, showmanship type so often seen in the karate tournaments today.

In last month’s Asia Trend Magazine, Evelyn Eng introduced us to the Christian family semi-nar held by the Orlando Chinese Evangelical Christian Church (OCECC, 2610 S. US 17-92, Casselberry, Florida). During the seminar, while parents were discussing tiger parents and heli-copter parents, the high school students in atten-dance were busy learning about the differences between American and Chinese cultures, as well what the Bible teaches about how parents and youth interact.

As with the parents, the first evening was spent discussing the differences between Chinese and American values. We began with a survey that put several opposing Chinese and American values on a continuum. Each youth then marked where they were along the continuum and where their parents were. Not surprisingly, many youth put their parents on the Chinese side of the continuum, with several enthusiastically saying, “Keep going off the scale!” It was more surprising how “Chinese” the youth remained, even while immersed in Ameri-can culture. All valued typically Chinese values (like academic achievement, working hard to get into a good college and sacrifice for the family) to much a greater extent than I expected, and certainly more than I did growing up in America.

We then continued with lessons on the Bible, focusing on verses such as “Children, obey your

By Alan Chen and Evelyn Eng

Asian American Youth Perspectives on Growing Up in America

parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.” (Col 3:20-21, NIV). The students discussed why it was so important to obey their parents, as well as when (and how to) respectfully speak up if they were ‘embittered’ by their parents. We broke this down to a very practical level by discussing what things they disliked about their parents, and how they could speak up and voice their opinions without being disrespectful or disobedient. Although there were many differing opinions, one unani-mously repeated negative aspect about Chinese parents was that they do not know how to en-courage their children, and they never admit that they are wrong.

We wrapped up Friday night with an open forum with parents and youth together. Here, the youth had the opportunity to speak up and talk openly in front of their parents and the church. The parents, too, had the opportunity to speak out about the worries they had for their children growing up in America. Both sides, I believe, left the evening with a greater understanding – the parents of how challenging it is to grow up in America and still retain Chinese roots, and the youth of the difficulties and sacrifices made by their parents.

Saturday began bright and early with discus-sions on excerpts from Amy Chua’s The Battle

Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Topics ranged from sibling rivalry and parental favoritism to rebel-lion against one’s parents. The students had a chance to discuss their reactions to the excerpts and relate similar situations in their own families. As with Friday night’s discussions, I was once again taken aback by how “Chinese” the youth were. Despite the often strict standards set for them, the youth loved and accepted their parents, and worked diligently to reach the standards set by their parents. When I asked if any of them re-belled against their parents, all struggled to think up examples. Most brought up relatively minor infractions, such as surfing the web while study-ing or cutting short their piano practice time.

The seminar wrapped up with a last opportunity for parents and youth to discuss their perspectives. The youth expressed the pressure they often felt to excel, while the par-ents stressed the reasons why it is so important to excel. Though the differences remained, the seminar was a starting point for the participating families to improve the parents/youth relation-ships.

Parents Perspective revisited (Evelyn Eng)– Are Asian parents who are Christian different in their parenting techniques than non-Christians? When Amy described her “encouragement” to get her daughter Lulu to successfully play the piano piece “Little White Donkey,” Americans were appalled that she took away basic privileg-es such as bathroom breaks and dinner. When I asked two Asian American women if Amy was unusually harsh – both came up with the same response – when they first read it, they thought she was harsh, but as they continued reading and saw the outcome (the daughter learned the piece and played it successfully), they thought she handled it well teaching her daughter to excel and work hard to believe and achieve something seemingly impossible.

“Does the end justify the means?” The difference between Asian and Western parenting may be the intense drive and the strong desire for our children to succeed. But, what if Lulu had failed to master the piece? As parents, do we look to God for wisdom in raising our children? He promises wisdom to all who ask (James 1:5), but He does not always promise worldly success. Christian parents must learn to discover the dif-ference so we do expect more of our children than God does.

Filipinos Celebrate 113th Anniversary of The Declaration of Philippine Independence

By Lita MartijaOrlando -- Hundreds of Filipino Americans

gathered at Double Tree Hotel in downtown Or-lando on June 5th to celebrate the 113th anni-versary of the declaration of Philippine Indepen-dence. It was on June 12, 1898 one hundred thirteen years ago when Filipinos declared its emancipation from the tyranny of Spanish co-lonialism and marked the culmination of almost four centuries of their country’s struggle for na-tionhood. The declaration transformed the Phil-ippines as an independent and proud nation hav-ing the first constitutional democracy in Asia.

The event commemorating this significant event in Philippine history was hosted by the Council For Filipino American Organizations .in Central Florida, also known as CFAO, chaired by Leilani Fontanilla. The group has been in ex-istence since 1998, a successor of the Filipino American Association that served the Filipino American community in Central Florida for twen-ty six years.. CFAO was established to continue

a united Filipino American representation to the general public. One of its major missions is the annual celebration of the Anniversary of the declaration of Philippine Independence. The celebration featured Filipino cultural dances, ethnic cuisine, songs in Filipino native dialects, a presentation of the evolution of Filipino flags of the Revolution, and a historical re-enactment of the declaration of Independence in a verandah in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines. Participants this year included a Parade of Organizations cho-reographed by Julieann Cruz showcasing Filipino costumes, dances by the Filipino Student Asso-ciation of University of Central Florida and the Bayanihan Dance Troupe of Wedgefield, medley of Filipino songs by the Reunion Group, and the Isang Himig Choir. An amazing aerial silk en-tertainment was performed by 15 year old Tiffany Tang.

The Philippines is a string of over seven thou-sand islands, most not even named stretching

from the south of China to the northern tip of Bor-neo. Often referred to as the Pearl of the Orient Seas, the country is famous for its spectacular sunset, its deep seas and majestic mountains, ,its rich flora and fauna, its impressive rice terraces carved out of the Banaue mountainside consid-ered one of the eight wonders of the world.

According to the recent Census figures, Filipi-nos in the United States today number more than 2.5 million , a 38% increase from 2000, projected to top 3.5 million by end of this summer. Florida has 90,223 Filipinos (a 66% increase from ten years ago) and under Florida’s blue skies, Filipino Americans say in exultation, “MABUHAY” ( Long Live!) in celebration of the 113th anniversary of the declaration of Philippine Independence, the spirit serving as a reminder of their moral duty to perpetuate the inherent nobility, wealth and strength of their heritage.

Street Scenes from Sa ĐécOn the roadside throughout Vietnam, there are durian stalls like this one seen here. Summer is fruit season in Vietnam!

Street food in Sa ĐécSa Đéc is a provincial city in Dong Thap province in southern Viet-

nam about 2-3 hours away from Saigon (Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh nowa-days). My father’s family is from this area, having lived here since his father immigrated from China in the 1920s. They still have a house on the main street in Sa Đéc even though most of our family has moved over to the United States. We still have a few aunts and uncles in the area though, and we stayed with one of my aunts Cuc Cua at her home during our stay. Even though she would home cook meals for us all day ( I literally just ate and slept in Sa Dec), in the morning before everyone in the house awoke, my mom and I would venture out of the house into Sa Dec to explore the markets and get some breakfast and coffee.

At the heart of each town, there is a “Cho” or market. Cho Sa Đéc is a huge building built over 20 years ago housing dif-ferent clothing, shoes, jew-elry and electronics shops. It reminded me of a large flea market similar to Magic Mall found in Orlando. Be-side the Cho Sa Đéc is a open air street food market with many different food vendors that sell every-thing from pho, hu tieu, rice dishes, coffee, rice paste noodles, and even vege-tarian dishes. My mom and

I would frequent this place often in the mornings, ordering bun thit nuong (rice vermicelli noodles with grilled pork) and banh cuon (rice paste with pork roll) and Vietnamese coffee. There is also a Cho Thuc Pham that is basically a meat market with cuts of meat hanging out at their stalls.

I enjoyed eating at these small food stalls as you can tell everything is home made and fresh. They get their products from the local market and make it fresh each morning.

Vietnam - Summer 2011Sa Dec is a city in the province of Dong Thap, about 2 and a half hours

away from Saigon. It’s my dad’s hometown and I still have quite a few family members left here.

Next to the Cho Sa Dec market, one street over, is the river market. There lies the fresh fish, fruit and vegetables market area where there are dozens of vendors under giant umbrellas by the river “hawking” their goods. It’s a beautiful sight in the morning with all the villagers walking around pick-ing out the freshest fruit and vegetables for the day’s meals. I saw live fish, crabs, snails, and even frogs at these vendors. Snails are sold almost ev-erywhere in Vietnam and I think it may be due to its French colonial past. My auntie would love to go from stall to stall and haggle for the best prices for durian, mangoes, and chuom chuom (rambutan) fruit. This is pretty much the same way of life the people of Vietnam have lived for hundreds of years: buying and selling fresh and local fruit, vegetable, and meats in open air markets. Every day is a farmer’s market in Vietnam.

After travelling to the market, my auntie would wrap some bi cuon, sum-mer rolls made with rice paper, vermicelli noodles, and pork strips that you would eat with a fish sauce dip.

Ganbare Kesennuma: Sweet Hope by Candy Miyuki charity“Ripple of friendship raised over $3,000 for survivors in Kesennuma”

Now he spends everyday removing the rubble all day and struggling for staples.” Everyone feels as if they should help survivors, but it takes initiative. Ms. Miyuki Sugimori, better known as the Candy Lady at the Epcot’s Japan Pavilion and her daughter Ms. Shido Sugimori decided to help out directly by traveling to Kesennuma in mid-August. They will volunteer at the Port Reconstruction Summer Festival. She found out about this opportunity from her long-time friend, Ms. Ritsuko Robinson who was born in Kesennuma, but now lives in Massachusetts. Her rela-tives in Kesennuma survived the disaster, but lost everything includ-ing family hotel business that they have built over generations. Their friendship started about 10 years ago when Ritsuko and her family was on vacation. Her three children instantly became fans of Miyuki’s candy at EPCOT. They have developed friendship and helped each other in many occasions. So when Miyuki found out about Ritsuko’s family situ-

Four months has passed from the devastating earthquake and tsu-nami in Northern Japan on March 11th, 2011. A little known fishing town in Miyagi prefecture, Kesennuma became splashed all over the news on that day. The world witnessed Kesennuma wiped out by massive tsunami and burnt out in wild fire in aftermath. Ksennuma’s population was around 73,000 before March 11th. As of April 2011, the death count in Kesennuma was 837 and 1,196 missing, meaning 2.8% of the local population was dead or missing by this disaster. The area of Kesen-numa measures about 333 square kilometers, but tsunami and fire destroyed one third of it.

How are survivors? Have all donations given from all over the world reached them? Absence of the media attention in the U.S. clouds grasp-ing reality. According to Ms. Ritsuko Robinson whose family members are survivors said, “My older brother lost his business and housing.

ation in Kesennuma, she asked how she could help without hesitation. Ritsuko contacted Kesennuma and relayed the information about the festival to Miyuki. Miyuki who has been sharing her candy making skill to put smiles on people’s face all over the world wanted to encourage people in Kesennuma with her candies.

At first, Miyuki and her daughter wanted to go quietly, but she decid-ed to collaborate with her local friends in Orlando to organize the charity events to raise fund for Kesennuma. On July 23rd, daytime charity event was held in Celebration with support by the Celebration Town Hall. Mi-yuki demonstrated her amazing candy making skill in front of partici-pants. Miyuki’s personal friend, Ms. Tomoko Kawahara, a professional koto player performed five songs providing entertainment including her original arrangements of “Bridge Over the Troubled Water” and “When You Wish Upon A Star.” The event also commemorated a 22 year old victim, a former worker at the Mitsukoshi Shop in Epcot’s Japan pavilion who was swept away by the tsunami during visiting her family in Kes-ennuma. About 40 local residences gathered to support their cause and $1,115 donation was received. Evening charity party with Miyuki’s

personal friends came together at the Aki Restaurant. Participants were entertained by making own personalized candy with Miyuki, mingled, and sang karaoke. Additional $1,420 donation was collected from the evening event which brought the total to $2,535.

Continuous donation has been pouring into Miyuki. As of August 1st, over $3,000 donation is collected. Miyuki and Shido will personally deliver the donation to Kesennuma with the banner filled with cheering messages and prayers.

It started as nothing more than friends helping friends and a ripple of friendship continue spreading. Miyuki’s recent blog has been filled with her appreciation for supporters. She commented, “We are in a mission to encourage survivors in Kesennuma, but doing the charity event, I am the one who are encouraged. I am just so thankful. My daughter and I will make sure to deliver not only donation we collected, but goodwill of people here in Orlando to Kesennuma.” Miyuki and Shido are planning the event to share their experience in Japan in fall.
