The Bento4Japan fundraiser organized by my fellow bento bloggers has already raised thousands of dollars to aid Japan's disaster relief - and it's still running! And, here's a chance for you to get one of the prizes that was offered!

I won this bento starter set donated by Angeleyes of BentoFun. Here's what's in the set:

• 1 x 480ml Lube Sheep Bento Box (Pink)
• 1 x Pan Pita (Pocket Sandwich) Maker
• 1 x Grass silicon baran
• 1 x 3pcs pack silicon food cups
• 1 x Cute picks pack
• ...and last but not least, an adorable handmade bento bag sporting smiling onigiri and even an octopus sausage!

I bid on the auction because I fell in love with the bag....but since it is such a great starter set, Since it's really a great starter kit, I've decided to offer it here as a giveaway. The winner will not have to pay for anything (I'll cover the postage to anywhere worldwide, and the winning bid price of the auction of course, which will be donated to GlobalGiving to aid Japan's disaster relief efforts.)

I do ask that you consider donating something more towards Japan's disaster relief efforts. You may not be able to afford bidding on Bento4Japan auction item, but maybe you can spare a few dollars or Euros (insert your local currency here)! I can't track donations officially of course, but if you do decide to enter this drawing, just let me know if you donated to the Red Cross or another organization, dropped some change into a donation box, and so on. (And of course, no one would lie about something like that...right? ^_^;) I'll keep an unofficially tally of what's been donated. If you're not sure how to donate, check out the long list I put together here.
