A crowd-funding campaign to raise money to repair the facilities around Shiraume Memorial Tower in Maezato, Itoman, hit its fundraising goal of 1.88-million-yen June 23. The campaign began on June 15, meaning the goal was reached in just nine days.

Chizu Inoue, 52, representing the Wakaumekai, the group planning the repairs and maintenance on the tower, thanked those who donated, saying, “I was happy to give the news to Kiku Nakayama from the Shiraume Alumni Association. This was a display of everyone’s good will and enthusiasm.”

Donations can be made at the crowd-funding site YUIMA. The campaign will remain open even after reaching the goal, with additional donations to be set aside for things like a picture book depicting the experiences of the Shiraume Student Corps.
