We began the charity with the amount of 29,079 dollars. The program Plan Japan trains women between the age of 18 and 25 with different skills to be able to work at a steady job. A new course for nail art and flower arrangements was established and has helped women who are living with HIV, history of prostitution, abuse, and other complicated situations. We have been able to get the interests of these women to be a part of this course. This project is not only about learning a skill but also a way to heal the soul, and to have these women interact with each other to build a solid community. There are also uniforms that is for training but also for job interviews, so that these students can feel proud of what they have been learning and achieved. After graduation the students can look for a job or even stay to even further develop their training and skills. The instructor for the nail art course says this. "Observing the nail art course, I could see the change the students were going through, a positive change. For example, there was one student who was very closed minded and stubborn, but now she is kind, direct and a leader of the class. A message from Junko Wong Women have the potential to change the face of the world we live in. It only takes the right opportunity, patience and perseverance. It doesn't matter　where we are from. Knowledge is the key. I support Plan Japan because they　provide the chance to learn. I admire the their dedication to improving the　situation for women around the world.]]> http://www.blythedoll.com/eng/news/2011/12/this_is_an_update_for_our_supp.html http://www.blythedoll.com/eng/news/2011/12/this_is_an_update_for_our_supp.html All Others Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:23:20 +0900 The definitive Blythe collector’s book with every Blythe: Neo,Middie, and Petite from June 2001 up until December 2011.
