NEWS - The New JAMBO
The main purpose in making new changes for JAMBO is to move it towards becoming a more sustainable organization. Until the end of March, 2012, JAMBO has depended on a very small number of people to run the programs. Even if one or two of these people quit, JAMBO could be in danger of disbanding.As of early 2012, JAMBO has become an official NPO in the USA and it is hoped that JAMBO may eventually get grants to support its activities and build an even stronger base.Upcoming eventsApril 10 - RIVER CLEAN-UP & CHERRY BLOSSOM PICNIC! - http://jambointernational.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=83e5f8ae8d176041196db745f&id=8ec24bbd3a&e=ca66c807d1 April 8 - Kanda River & Inokashira Park Walk & Cherry Blossom Party －http://www.jambointernational.com/2012/04/08/2530/?lang=en
