Dear all the supporters and donors,
Thank you so much for your generous donation to our Youth Venture program.
On Dec. 21st, 2022, six Youth Venturers presented their projects at a school in Fukuoka in front of students, teachers, and parents. The participants chose which story to listen to, and they said that they had an amazing time learning how young changemakers are acting on their ideas and making difference in the society.
One student said, "I listened to Hayato who is helping patients with severe food allergy get immunity through his cockies he invented. I know a few friends of mine who have food allergy, but I never thought about taking actions for them at all. I'm 17 as Hayato is, and that made me wonder what kind of change I can make in this world!"
Another teacher said, "Sara's Book Swap project seems very cool! We as a school want to be connected with local people more, so I would like to organize such space by opening up the school to the local community!"
For more on the events, please take a look at these photos from this trip:

If you are connected to a school in Japan and would like to bring in these young changemakers, feel free to contact us!
Thank you always for your support!
Warm regards,
Yoi Ashida on behalf of Ashoka Japan Team
