Yes, Its true, My Face book friends and family really care for Rwandan orphans. Yesterday, I get a call from one of my Face book friends, who want to donate shoes/ sneakers to
Rwandan orphans as a Mother’s Day gift. That phone call browned my mind away!

Thank you for your kindness heart and your unconditional love. May God continue to bless you.

My Dear face book friends & Family, I have to tell you, Yesterday, was a beautiful day for me a day of full of surprises.

Guess whom else, I met? About 2pm on my way going to the business meeting in Brooklyn,(at the train station) I met this very beautiful lady who is radio hostess, she was so happy to see me, she jumped on me and give me a big hug, with full of joy like my childhood best friend, then in my mind , I was like I don’t remember this face very well in my childhood, who is this personnel? and it’s seems that she knows me very well, but

I don’t remember her name neither her face, so…Lo…( smile) Immediately my mind clicked on Face book, I was like, I see,.. Then I told her: you must be my Face book friend, she said: “Yes. Yes! I love your Face book comments and I love what you do, I want to get involved in your efforts of helping Rwandan orphans and I will love to interview you on my radio show sometime very soon as well. “,

I was like Wow!!! Beautiful, I ‘m so happy to meet you as well, we laugh and talk then I invited her to take part on our next Peace event preparation meeting this coming Monday at Baruch College. She was very happy to join us; she decided to change her Monday scheduler, just for joining us because she believes in promoting Peace and Justice. I was very pleased to meet and have a short conversation with her. Beautiful experience

Dear Marie Claudine,
I participated in your side event at CSW56.
I was moved by your speech!
Shirley and I are both member of IFUW (international federation of university women).
During the session, you mentioned you need shoes for kids in Rwanda.
If so, I will collect shoes and send them from Japan.

Questions:

Where I should send to?

Is there time limit to send?
how many shoes you might ask?

Hope to hear from you

IZUMI

Please meet our HERO

Izumi Yamashita

I was born and gown in Fuji city which is located in Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I have sent most of my time with children as a swim and English instructor. My time with children made me concern about child happiness with their families. So, I decided to study and was educated in the United States in my 30s.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and child development & family life at Indiana State University, and a master’s degree in community services, Family and Child Ecology at Michigan State University. I worked as a family life educator after 　having come back to Japan and then, I worked as a Fuji city councilor from 2007 to 2011. I try to get a seat again in political arena.

I am now doing social activities as a member of Japanese Association of University Women, Japan home economics association, and a local community. Building wonderful child and family support systems in Japan is to my job and hope! I live in Fuji city with my parents and a cat. Peace!!
