My story
I met a japanese woman on the book when I was junior high school student.
This is my fisrt inspiration what I do.
Her name is Sadako Ogata.
She worked at UNHCR from 1990 to 2000.
Many people appreciate it because she did a lot of work for refugees.
I read about her a textbook.
I knew internationl cooperation and volunteer etc...
As the same Japanese I felt proud.
Then I was longing for it. I wish becoming like her!
When I'm high school student I wanna study about internation cooperation.
I studyed hard so I passed the entrance exam of Nihon University College Of International Relation.
And then, 11th ,march 2011.
East Japan great earthquake disaster occurred.
After I entered a university.
When I had long vacation, i went to disaster-stricken area to voluteer.
First time is 18years old.
I felt my own helplessness, and feeling of emptiness.
But I was suppported by a lot of people, was able to volunteer.
Next I started internationl cooperation when i was 20.
Contents of it is education support to slums in Philippines and elementary schools in Cambodia.
The main project is in Philippines.
I was serious thinking so that we could vaporise the slums by own supporting it.
We went to shanty town at Cebu city in Philippines.
We made a donation picture books in English and spended time with internationl children slum's.
Since we went back in Japan, we're also active in various activities to donate for slums.
But I noticed some things after a year.
Slums just won't go away by own support.
In addtion to this, I had some problems.
For example, the difference between we wanting to do and motivation of member etc...
I felt fustrated.
This's my tuning point.
I was wondering if our support was a meaningful thing.
I thought the reason why we can't find more better the way , could not understand what I wanna do.
And then, I was thinking that I really wanna do thing.
What is right, how to support is right, why I wanna do it in overseas...
As a result I decided what to do, but I don't have experience and knowledge.
So I strated travel around aisa, want to get experience in many countries.
I wanna see happines, smile, pleasure of people and don't have knowledge, skill,
but this is me now.
I'm thinking that can do something for me now.
I wanna become a person who can make happiness to many people
becaues I'm very happy.
wanna try to various thing, meet a lot of people, go to various place.
Thank you for reading.
