Happy Doll Project 2014

There are times that anxiety overwhelms physical pain.

There are times that you lose hope finding out that your disease has reoccurred.

There are times that you shut down all the doors, not being able to see the future.

There are times that you feel sad to fight on your own.

 

At such times, if you could casually chat with someone and realize that there are so many people around the world who are suffering just like you…

If you could touch extremely bright fabric, etc., make something, and share the joy of making…

People must feel warm in their heart and come up with hope to live tomorrow!

 

Carrying such hope, the Happy Doll project kept on traveling this year.

Six hospitals in Japan, 21 spots inside the damaged area in Tohoku, and they even flew to four places in South Africa!

This was planned because I found that there are children in South Africa who need support too!

 

The children who suffer with AIDS, poverty, loss of their parents, sexual harassment, etc., turned the chance to express themselves into great joy, making things with strong passion. That scene, together with their bright smiles, moved us.

 

I truly love children and adults who live on this earth.

Because I see these people inside and outside Japan, I feel that we are all “buddies” who live in this same era.

 

We will continue to make “things” in hospitals while chatting with each other and thank God for giving us the opportunity to meet with the people who live in temporary housing and also children of the world. And when we leave, I will be too moved to say anything, and just continue to hope see them again. And the Happy Dolls that they made will unite people, continuously spreading smiles.

 

Cheer up, everyone!
