Testimonials

"My dream in life is to make people happy with music. When I first knew about HOPE by chance, my instinct told me to join HOPE! It is probably because that is relevant to my dream. The very first act is important. I believe that anyone like me can make a change."

 

(Keitaro Nishizaki)

"I try to keep up on the news despite the fact that so many times the news of the day can be so disheartening. Being involved with HOPE helps me face the day knowing that in my own small way I can be a part of someone's solution...that there is something to be done at the level of the individual that can make an impact to make this world a better place."

(Erin Sakakibara)

"To me, HOPE @ Nanzan Kokusai High School means a group of people, citizens and most of all just students working together to find new ways to make less fortunate people more happy. Joining HOPE will make a difference!"

"Being a HOPE member reminds me how grateful I should be of my life in Japan and helps me think carefully of the way I think and act."

 

(SHION)

"I have found that life is simply a lot better when you don't focus too much on your own personal pleasure. No, it might be better said that your own personal pleasure increases when you focus more on other people. Being involved with HOPE changes the lives of people in difficult situations, and at the same time, it changes me. Both are vital for making the world a better place."
