The "Sharing and Caring" initiative aims to bring joy and support to orphan children in Japan through thoughtful gift-giving. This year, we expanded our efforts significantly, leading to even more impactful experiences for the children we serve.
Our process begins with collecting updated data on the number of children in each orphanage we assist. This ensures we have an accurate and current list of recipients. We categorize the children by age group to identify suitable gifts, allowing us to tailor our offerings to their specific needs and preferences. This structured approach not only helps us efficiently manage our resources but also enhances our ability to promote the campaign effectively. By reaching out to companies interested in donating, funding, or volunteering, we mobilize support to buy, wrap, and deliver gifts alongside our dedicated team.
This year, we asked all friends and supporters from our donor circle to participate in the campaign. The results were spectacularly better than in previous years, showcasing the power of community involvement. We were reminded that our collective efforts reinforce the message that "we are all here to walk each other home."
Through this initiative, we successfully delivered hundreds of gift boxes to children not only in Japan but also in the Philippines and Brazil. Each box was filled with love and care, and the joy on the faces of the children as they opened their gifts was a testament to the impact of our work. We believe that children are born as pure love, and our efforts this year reinforced the importance of connection and compassion. Each child receiving a gift was reminded of the most vital message: we are all here to touch each other's lives and every individual matters.
The feelings of happiness and surprise experienced by the children this year will be cherished for years to come. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who contributed to this initiative—donors, volunteers, and supporters. Together, we are making a significant difference in the lives of these children, reminding them that they are loved and valued. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we make a difference—You, Me, and We.
