Join us at the Embassy of Serbia for the charity event for BALKAN FLOOD RELIEF!!
Serbia has just been struck (May 2014) with a huge natural disaster, caused by heavy rain and overflowing rivers (Details: http://www.tokyo.mfa.gov.rs/index.php). While this serious disaster in Balkan Peninsula has barely made the news in Japan, My Eyes Tokyo (MET) and The International Center inTokyo (ICT) decided to cosponsor this charity event for Serbia because it’s time for us to repay one of our greatest supporter who has donated more to the relief efforts for “The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake and tsunami” than any other European country for the first half year!!!
So we’d like to say thank you to Serbia through this charity event, which must be a good opportunity to learn its cultures, heritages, people and so on… It’s not a simple charity event but full of events which will offer practical knowledge and richness to your life. Entrance fee is for FREE but participants are required to purchase at least one Raffle ticket ￥1,000/each at the door.
Co-organized by

The profit of the sale will also go to the charity.
