Chiyoko Takeuchi, a Japanese immigrant who came to Australia twenty years ago, has been organizing charity events from 2011 to send support from Australia to the Tohoku area in Japan and other earthquake-hit regions.
Chiyoko works full-time as a care worker and manages the Tokyo Kimono Volunteers, a Japanese volunteer group, in her spare time.
With the generous support from the Koi Society of Australia, Chiyoko is now organizing the 8th Japanese Fundraiser @Koi, Pet and Garden Show at Fairfield City Showground on the 20th of May.
In the interview, Chiyoko tells us how she started organising charity events and what kind of message she would like to send through her volunteer work.
