Costa Directory do their bit to help Japan
It’s great to see local businesses pulling together to help important causes. 
In this month’s Costa Directory newsletter they are publicising the Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal and even better, they are donating 10 euro to the Red Cross for every advert that is sold in their April-May edition. A great reason to do a bit of publicity for your business and help a good cause! Please see below for information on the appeal and visit http://www.costadirectory.com/ to find out more about advertising.
A massive earthquake, the seventh largest recorded in history, struck the east coast of Japan on Friday 11 March. The earthquake, measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale, triggered a tsunami which hit the east coast of Japan with 7-metre-high waves, leaving a trail of destruction.
More than 2,000 people have died in the disaster and some 2,000 are injured. The number of confirmed dead is expected to rise to around 10,000. The earthquake triggered fires and caused severe damage to buildings, leaving 1.2 million homes without electricity and 1.4 million without water.
