SEVEN UPDATE

Thank you for supporting our April production of SEVEN!

I appreciate the emails so many of you sent us about the production. Many have asked me about the next performances because every performance was sold out. I am still considering how to maintain the momentum started with SEVEN and will be sure to let you know about upcoming productions.

Thank you to everyone who spent Feb through April with us working to make the production such a memorable experience.

A big shout out to Rodger Sono and John Matthews for the photos and PR !!!
In case you missed these Rodger also created two promo videos, introducing some of the cast members https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnLBfJX4NG4&nohtml5=False
and a behind the scenes rehearsal video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcJOqoiQsLI&nohtml5=False&spfreload=5

With your help we raised 346,224 yen for Resilience. Your donation will be put to use to conduct Art Therapy programs for children from abusive homes and to support thier Women's Program supporting domestic violence survivors. Find our more about Resilience at http://resilience.jp/ and learn more about other local organizations working on the issues addressed in the show by visiting some of the links on my blog: https://sjworkshopblog.wordpress.com/eresources/

They just started running free-school for the children who are suffering from the disaster. This school is a place for single-parent families who are suffering by poverty. They can leave their children in our care while they're working, and they can eat here for free. There are so many children who can't go to school or even can't go out from their home because of their suffer from the disaster.

Now they are working on the new project that children who are suffered by the disaster do home stay at the families from overseas, and living in Tokyo, in this summer. the purposes of this project are
・ To keep the children of single-parent family off the loneliness in the summer vacation.
・ To simulate experience the life of foreign countries in the families from overseas.

TOMODACHI Women's Leadership program

The TOMODACHI Initiative MetLife Women's Leadership program is looking for mentors for this year's session. The program is a 10-month program for highly-motivated female Japanese university students to develop their leadership skills. The initial session will take place on September 9th in Tokyo (for the full schedule of sessions, please click here).
This mentor opportunity is aimed at mid-level career women and is a chance for those interested to hone their leadership skills, network with other professional women, and have a huge positive impact on university-age Japanese women who are future leaders. The ideal candidate would have about 9 years of professional experience and speak English.
TOMODACHI is recruiting women based in Tokyo, Osaka, Naha, and Sapporo. The mentors are responsible for attending four leadership training sessions (one in September, October, December, and February) and the end of year conference in Tokyo, likely in May, and building a mentor relationship with a university student participant that we pair them with. It is free of charge and TOMODACHI provides dinner during the training sessions.
If you are interested in applying to become a mentor, please click on the following link for more details: http://usjapantomodachi.org/2016/04/19203/
The deadline for mentor applications for Tokyo, Osaka, and Naha is July 11. TOMODACHI is still accepting both mentor and mentee applications from those based in Sapporo through August 1.
