被災した子ども達が、山と海でのびのび遊べる夏を創ります！！

先日、私は

「福島のことではなく、私達の星で起きていることです。」と書きました。

https://readyfor.jp/projects/komera-summer2014/announcements/11083　　

　

世界の中心はどこでしょう。

きっとどこでも在りません。

そして、あなたの居るところが中心であり、世界の果てだと思います。

 

このプロジェクトが始まって、

たくさんの出逢いをいただきました。本当にありがとうございます。

 

英語が苦手な私達のために、何人もの方が英訳をしてくださったおかげで、

今日まで70日近くも世界へメッセージを届けることができました。

おかげさまで、新しい出逢いもいただきました。心から感謝しています。

もう一度、ここにも記しておきます。

 

あと2日弱、46時間で、満月です。
いよいよレディーフォーのスポンサー締切です。

 

でも、まだスタート地点に立ったばかり。

これで終わりではありません。

夏で終わりでもありません。

 

子ども達がオトナになって行った時に、世界の中心、もしくは世界の果てで。

あなたに出逢うかもしれません。

子ども達とつながってくださる皆様へ届けます。
