Yay, first post and I'm using it to beg for help.
So, I'm currently living in Tokyo and studying at a Japanese language school. For some reason or another, our school has decided that, instead of the separate AM&PM (there are morning classes and afternoon classes) holiday parties they usually have, there's going to be one big party/festival/thing that involves everyone on the last day of the term. Think the culture festival that you've seen in every slice-of-life anime series you've ever watched except run by quasi-disinterested college-aged students.
Naturally, nobody in my class wanted to do anything beyond cooking food or suchlike, so I volunteered to bring in my Wii, controllers, and projector, invite people to bring their DSes and Mario Kart games, and just set up a 'game center' for the day. Then I saw that Child's Play had started again and decided that I would use this occasion to raise money. We'll have donation boxes out, and after the day's over I'll count up all the yen and PayPal the equivalent amount to the general fund.
That said, I'll naturally have to explain to people what I'm asking for donations towards. Students of all levels of study (from the raw beginners to the nearly-fluent advanced) will be participating and so having a sign in Japanese (which I can manage by myself, more or less) and English (which can be ripped straight from the site) probably won't be enough.
So, if you (or anyone you know) have some free time and want to translate the info on the Child's Play website (how it started, what it's about, that sort of thing) into one of the following languages, I would declare you to be pretty goddamned awesome:
-Chinese
-Korean
-Thai
Those are the big three foreign contingents at my school, I think. We have smaller groups of Indian and Bangladeshi students as well as students from Laos, Malaysia, Vietnam... pretty much everywhere in Asia. If you can write short blurbs in those languages that would be awesome too.
If you can help out, either post in the thread or contact me through my forum info. Thanks!
