Okayama Donation
As a result JAFA has made a donation of $3,000 to the Save the Children organization in Japan to assist with their program to provide safe places for children to meet and to offer psychological support. With this small gesture we hope the people of Okayama will know that they have friends in Australia thinking of them in their time of need. For an update on the situation in Okayama please click here to read an email from Mr. Kenji Ishii, Director of the Tourism Division of Okayama Prefectural Government.

What's On
The Japanese Film Festival will be held in Adelaide in November and the organizers are looking for volunteers to help promote the event and assist at the screenings. 
Unfortunately, recent weather in Japan has been quite severe with the current typhoon bringing more rain to devastated parts of Japan. The storms that hit Japan in July caused extensive flooding and landslides in Okayama Prefecture with significant loss of life.
Registration for the 2018 Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is closing soon! Registrations must be made before Thursday 6 September at 5pm AEST (4:30pm Adelaide time).
Feature film: Tornado
The David Roche Foundation will open a major new exhibition Edo Style: Art of Japan (1615-1868) which will showcase more than 150 exquisite works of art, drawn predominantly from the renowned Japanese art collection at the Art Gallery of South Australia, with additional items from The David Roche Collection and private collections.
