Excellence International expresses deep condolences to the loss of many precious lives during the Great Northern and Kanto Earthquake on March 11, 2011, and to all those who were affected by this disaster we would like to show our support.

Excellence International contributed to the rehabilitation of the victims of the disaster zone, with the cooperation of Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo, in Monaco. A charity auction of the original Qee Bear (a popular collectors’ art toy) was held in Tokyo on June 10. The Original Qee Bear auction raised 2344,500 Yen (20’000 Euros), which will help the WFP (World Food Program) for reconstruction assistance throughout all of North-Eastern Japan.

The auction was organized along with gala charity dinner at the exclusive, private Roppongi Hills Club. During this event, the artist Mrs Liqing Shuhuajia who participated in the Bear Design, produced a live instrumental music painting which she donated to the auction.

In addition, the violonist Iwao Furusawa kindly performed live music from his new June 2011 released album, on the theme of Love and Hope, in order to deliver his message to the disaster affected areas.

We would like to add our prayers for the affected people from the disaster zone that they may regain their confidence and former living standards as soon as possible.
