Oxfam Fundraising Party, April 17th, 2009
On the 17th in the evening we had our fundraising party and also had the chance to celebrate Hans-Peter's birthday. The party was perfectly hosted by Christine and Hans-Peter. Many contributed with salads and sweets and other very delicious treats. Thomas W. was the barbecue master, Tom participated with a series of Codeo beer kegs and I got an authentic Swiss Raclette oven and cheese directly imported from Switzerland. The party was a big success - and with this goes a big thank you to all the guests: in the course of the evening we raised 150'000 yen for Oxfam! Great!
We "die Firmenläufer" run regulary early in the morning from our homes into Tokyo. This takes us about 70 minutes. Upon arrival in a KAPSERU HOTERU (capsule hotel) in the Shinbashi area we take a hot bath and go for a small breakfast. What a great way to start the day!
Some of us moved in the meantime to other places of the world but we still stay in contact one or the other way. We participated for the first time in Japan in 2009 at the Oxfam challenge. The 2010 Hong Kong Oxfam challenge will for one of be his third time he participates.
We are intrigued by this combination of a charity, a challenge but also good fun. We'd like to introduce you to those 3 aspects on this page so please have a look at the challenge, the fun and also the support you can give through your donations.
