Is there a non-profit organization that I can donate money to Japan?
I want to make sure that my money doesn't end up in private banks, but to actually help in relief programs there. We should all do something, and I want 100% of my effort to actually HELP the Japanese.

I think the red cross is non profit. You could try them.

I'm looking for an organization too. I'm really shocked with what happened. So many of my japaneese friends, even my hairstyler could be in that mess right now. I'm looking for a website that I can donate to and I'll post it here if I find one.

XD i just askin' the same thing.

The Red Cross can get the money where it is needed. Bear in mind this about limiting your donation so it goes "100%" to Japan: On Thursday morning, disaster relief organizations had offices already in place. Offices need electricity, water, computers, Internet access, phones, phone service, printers, paper, toner--and people. All of that already had to be paid for, so when the earthquake hit, the agencies were ready. Without unrestricted donations, relief agencies cannot have any of these necessities.

I was able to donate using here at http://www.helpjapanrecover.org/ It allows you to donate using amazon.com I donated 100.00 us Making a donation with amazon.com was allot better than paying to someone I do not know.

I can travel standby anywhere for free. How can I make money with this ability?

I do know someone who has the same ability who travels back and forth to Japan to teach English. I also have thought of import/export, though I don't know much about it. Being an antiques scout/buyer was suggested to me. I doubt I could compete in the photoessay/travel writer category. Do you have any ideas? Thanks. No, I'm not an airline employee, and no, I'm not suggesting trying to transfer my pass. Please read my description before replying.

You can't. I assume you have an employee pass. In this day and age ID's are thoroughly checked so no one else could use your pass.

You can't. There was a time when a very minute number of passengers could standby--as a pre-approved courier--on a few select and rare international flights for very low prices, but since 9-11, those days are gone.... Baggage allowances are so low, and excess baggage fees so high, that couriering your own goods seems like a difficult way to make some cash--unless you're importing something like rare feathers, for example. Keep in mind that if your travel is for work, and you actually perform work in another country, you might well be liable for tax on income earned there--further complicating the idea. Have you considered going with older people who might need some assistance while travelling? Just an idea.

I think that if you read the fine print in whatever agreement gives you standby flight privilege, you'll find serious limitations on how and for what purpose you can use that privilege. Additionally, there are zillions of other legal ramifications that you'd have to be aware of—being able to fly for free is in fact almost insignificant compared to these other considerations, if you want to do things legally.

I don't know if you're flying on an employee's privileges, but if you are... It's against the rules of pass travel to use standby flights for business purposes. The employee could lose their benefits if the wrong people found out. By the way, cigarettes are getting very expensive in the USA and Canada. I was in St. Maarten recenly and they cost about $1 per pack. In Canada $9.50.

How can I make a realistic looking money tree for my husbands 30th birthday? Pictures would be great too.?
How can I make a realistic looking money tree for my husbands 30th birthday? Pictures would be great too.?
I need to make a money tree for my husbands 30th birthday. I saw one on ebay a while back and it gave me this idea but I didn't jump at bidding on it and now there are none on ebay. I live on a military base in japan so I can't go to a target or walmart or Michael's. I'm limmeted to basic craft supplies but can get some things from the art department here at the school. I would love pictures if you have any to follow the look. I will provide my email if you have pictures and steps to follow. Thank you SO much. This will be his first birthday home in over 5 years. He's been deployed the whole time and this one's a surprise!

One way would be to find a dead tree branch that has a lot of smaller branches on it. Clean it and stick it in a bucket of sand and cover the bucket with a tablecloth. Then fold your money lengthwise then into a v-shape so you can fold it onto the branches, securing with a rubber band or string. Then fan the money out. You can also add money flowers. http://www.google.com/search?q=origami+rose .

Find a small branch between 18 and 36 inches tall depending on how big you want your money tree. The branch should have many smaller limbs to hang dollar bills. Spray paint the branch any color you want before plastering into pot. White makes a nice contrast for green bills. Purchase a metal or ceramic pot. If the pot has a hole at the bottom cover the hole with tape. Mix a thick plaster mixture. Put plaster in the pot with branch sticking straight out. Let the pot sit over night. Conceal the hardened plaster with silk moss, grass or leaves. Use a hot glue gun to glue the moss to the plaster. Cover all the plaster around the branch so your pot looks like it has a tree growing in the green foliage. Begin adding money to the tree. Use any denomination of bills to attach to the tree. Attach the bills to the tree using paper clips or mini clothes pins. You can fold the bills decoratively or just let them hang. It's up to you. Here's a picture to give you an idea.

its a little gross, but being a sperm donor pays $75 a pop here in the states. they only let you do it twice a day though. But i guess if you drove to a few clinics you could make quite a bit of money
3 :
Buy low, sell high
4 :
Have someone you know use http://www.westernunion.com/info/homePage.asp?country=JP&origination=global
5 :
Tell your parents to send you money. Honestly how are you supposed to make money with without a job??? What kind of question is this?
6 :
Well obviously you have to work or at least find something you can sell. Sell a few of your belongings. If you really want money that badly you can always sell your ipod or whatever. Finding someone who will buy it though is another matter.
7 :

8 :
Sell your computer.
9 :
Turn a few tricks. Old Japanese ladies need love, too.
10 :
Yes, a job. That is the only way to do it. Get a legal working visa and then go for it. If you don't have a visa nor a job, then you are out of luck.
11 :
Seriously, you have to assume some risk when it comes to quick returns, especially if a job is not a possibility. You can try gambling on Keirin or Keiba. Place your money with the bike or rider that has the best chances to win. It has it's risks. I once places bets for a gambler and I placed my own money on the same games and made +$80 in one Sunday. To reduce your risk, follow the trends of the best odd on the horses.
