フィジーウォーターが日本の被災地に

フィジーの新聞「フィジータイムズ」に載っていた記事ですが、フィジーの飲料水「フィジーウォーター」が津波の被害地に送られるそうです。

もちろんすべてのかたには届かないでしょうが、被災地の方々に少しでも役にたっていただけますね。

ちなみにフィジーウォーターはアメリカではセレブご用達の水としてポピュラーなフィジーウォーターですが、日本でも売っているけれど、高級品扱いみたいです。

Tsunami victims get FIJI Water

A COMPANY in Japan is distributing FIJI Water in tsunami-stricken areas.

Interpylon Company Limited's One and Only Shop, an online monopoly for sales of FIJI Water, said they would support the revival of the stricken areas by offering safe water for the victims on their online tweet.

The tweet reads, "We give deep condolences to the people who got affected by the Tohoku region Pacific Ocean coast EQ. We, the company will try to give 15,000 bottles of 330ml FIJI Water to the stricken area.

"We reserve 15,000 FIJI Water for donation but we also want to transport all the bottles including those our fellow customers pay for."

In an email to The Fiji Times, a student of Meiji University in Tokyo and participant of the Ship for World Youth, Kento Alex Hirota, said FIJI Water was expensive and not so common in Japan.

"FIJI Water is expensive and drunk by foreign celebrities and is sold by high-quality import shops," he said.

"This company is sending tonnes of FIJI Water to the disaster struck areas and I feel more corporate bodies should do the same and try and provide supplies like food and water to those who don't have any.

"It's amazing that FIJI Water is supplied to those unfortunate people and even though Fiji is not known here, I feel the same warmth and hospitality that I received when the 23rd Ship for World Youth stopped over in Suva a month ago."
