Hi, some of you may know that my husband Jose is starting up a social
business to help the suicidal people in Japan.
Some of you may
not know that Japan has a super high rate of suicides.
We are
devastated to hear that the NO.1 death cause for the 20s was
"suicide" in Japan last year....
Why?
Until a few years ago, we had a solid social system. If
you were adecent person you could become successful if you went to
good school, if you picked a big company you could work for your
whole life. One just had to follow the same path like everyone
else.
However, this has changed in a good way; everyone can
have various choices in life, but that somehow has left those who
are uncertain of their choices behind.
60 people commit
suicide every day in Japan, including young workers, retired men,
and even students. Surrounded by high expectations from work and
other people, many find it hard to express their feelings in such a
stressful society. Lack of communication and support result from
living away from one's family and from not knowing one's neighbours.
It is hard if not impossible to call for help, it is hard to find
the purpose in life beyond things that you can see, like money or status.
What are we doing?
We are providing workshops for schools and
corporates. We believe that hotlines and gatherings for those who
have attempted suicides are not the answers to their
struggles.
Everyone needs to have an opportunity to think
about purpose in life, the identity, what the foundation in life is;
these fundamentals you can't get from memorizing the notes for your
exams, or going on a drinking spree with your boss.
We need your support.
Since we are starting up, we need to
start off with approaching more schools (we have already been to
some, and quite a few of schools have expressed their interest) and
corporates.
We need more booklets to be printed, we need
strategies to get more corporates to be involved and also to invest
in research and tests to find out what best work for current Japan.
How?
We have launched our crowdfunding website in Japan and
are trying to reach our 3 million Japanese yen (about $27000 USD)
target, by June 29th.
