Lanterns for Japan
By tyler.d on November 24th, 2011Double your holiday giving with this unique gift idea!
Help us reach our goal of $12,000 for Support of Survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Following the devastating earthquake and Tsunami in Japan, Calgary Science
School teacher, Mike Neufeld, began a unique fundraising initiative. Using his interest in
woodworking, Mike designed a small decorative lantern that would be suitable for mass production. On
the weekend of June 4th-5th over twenty volunteers were assembled to help create pieces for the lanterns. By the end of June, 250 lanterns were made.
Purchase a handcrafted lantern for $60
Made from cedar, decorative rice paper aluminum and acrylic. All Proceeds go to the Red Cross for Tsunami relief.
If interested, please contact Mr. Neufeld
