JSoccer Magazine, through an initiative by Lionel Piguet, will raise money for earthquake relief in Tainan, Taiwan.

(** If you have the ability to translate the following English version into Japanese, Portuguese or any other language, please do. I can add it to the post and help spread the word even more – thank you **)

Dear friends around the world

As you surely know, Tainan (in the southern part of Taiwan) was hit by an earthquake on February 6th. Many people lost their homes and people are now in desperate need of help. Taiwan is the country in Asia that donated the most to Japan after the 3.11 earthquake in Tohoku, and now JSoccer Magazine would like to return that kindness by donating money to Tainan City Government Bureau of Social Affairs to assist in earthquake relief.

Myself (JSoccer editor) and Lionel Piguet (regular contributor and Taiwan correspondent) have made arrangements to ensure that ALL future sales of issue 18 of JSoccer Magazine (which includes Lionel’s article on football in Taiwan), will be donated to the Tainan City Government Bureau of Social Affairs to support those in need.

You can purchase the magazine from as little as 300 yen (100 NTD) or pay as much as you want, literally – ALL income after postage costs will go to the fund – the magazine is a donation, no costs will be taken by JSoccer.
Then please add the shipping fee – 510 yen (145 NTD) to Taiwan / 250 yen within Japan.
(Other destinations can be confirmed but 510 yen should cover costs).

You can pay your desired amount by paypal to alan@jsoccer.com or to djstout80@gmail.com or by ATM if you live in Taiwan by sending Lionel an email to djstout80@gmail.com with your address and the amount you would like to pay.

Of course, we will also accept straight donations to the “JSoccer Magazine Fund for Tainan” and will update you regularly on how much has been raised. Thank you!

Chers ami(e)s aux 4 coins du monde,

Comme vous le savez déjà peut-être, Tainan (qui se trouve tout au sud de Taiwan) a été victime d’un tremblement de terre meurtrier le 6 fevrier dernier. Beaucoup de personnes ont perdu leur maison et sont désormais dans le besoin. Taiwan est le pays qui a fait le plus de dons après le tremblement de terre du 11 mars 2011 au Japon, et avec l’aide de Jsoccer Magazine, je voudrais les remercier en envoyant un don au Bureau des affaires sociales de la ville de Tainan.

Alan Gibson (éditeur de Jsoccer) et moi-même (journaliste chez Jsoccer) avons pris la décision de remettre la totalité des ventes du magasine Jsoccer numéro 18 au Bureau des affaires sociales de la ville de Tainan pour venir en aide aux gens qui sont dans le besoin.

Vous pouvez acheter le magasine à partir de 2,50 euros au prix que vous voulez offrir en don tout en y rajoutant les frais d’envoies qui sont de 6 euros pour l’Europe.

Vous pouvez payer par PayPal aux adresses suivantes : djstout80@gmail.com ou alan@jsoccer.com sans oublier de nous mettre votre adresse.

Nous vous remercions en avance !

Cari amici nel mondo (versione italiana) Come sicuramente sapete, il 6 Febbraio il Tainan (nella parte meridionale di Taiwan) è stata colpito da un terremoto . Molte persone hanno perso le loro case e sono ora in disperato bisogno di aiuto. Taiwan è il paese dell’Asia, che dopo il terremoto del 3/11 (Tohoku) ha donato maggiormente al Giappone e ora JSoccer Magazine vorrebbe ritornare quella gentilezza, donando soldi al Tainan City Government Bureau of Social Affairs per l’assistenza post terremoto.

Io (editor di JSoccer) e Lionel Piguet (collaboratore regolare e Taiwan corrispondente) abbiamo preso accordi per assicurare che tutte le future vendite del numero 18 di JSoccer Magazine (che include l’articolo di Lionel sul calcio a Taiwan), siano devolute al “Tainan City Government Bureau of Social Affairs”, per aiutare chi ha bisogno.

È possibile acquistare la rivista con un minimo di 300 ¥ (100 NTD) o pagare tanto quanto si vuole, letteralmente – tutte le entrate al netto delle spese di spedizione andranno al fondo – la rivista è una donazione, senza costi trattenuti da JSoccer.
Quindi si prega di aggiungere la tassa di spedizione – 510 yen (145 NTD) a Taiwan / 250 yen in Giappone.
(Altre destinazioni possono essere confermate, ma 510 dovrebbero coprire i costi).

È possibile pagare l’importo desiderato da PayPal ad alan@jsoccer.com o djstout80@gmail.com o da ATM se si vive a Taiwan con l’invio a Lionel di una mail a djstout80@gmail.com con il vostro indirizzo e l’importo che si desidera pagare.

After two away wins for our Japanese teams – Kashiwa 3-2 at Suwon Samsung, Gamba 3-1 at FC Seoul… a draw, a 1-0, even a 2-1 loss and Reysol are through. A win, of course will be much better! Gamba have a two goal cushion AND three away goals. They can afford to lose 2-0, but they won’t. Enjoy the games!
