The Official Blog of Sailor Mouth Soaps

In light of the terrible devastation in Japan, I've decided to donate  part of the proceeds from my February sales  to  Animal Refuge Kansai (ARK)  instead of the Premier's Flood Appeal as I had mentioned initially. After seeing pictures and video of the tireless efforts of animal agencies in the stricken areas of Japan, I think the money is best off over there. " ARK will accept as many animals as possible, those made homeless from the TOHOKU-PACIFIC earthquake and tsunami which occurred on 11th March. Any donations will be used for the animals made homeless in this terrible disaster. "
