Appeal March 2003: With the Y's men, demanding hope

Nobuko Nakatomi, President of Tokyo Y's Menettes Club

In the sky, the noble life of seven astronauts of the space shuttle was lost; the person all over the world cried. In the ground, the persons in North Korea starve and shiver with the coldness; we pour tears into them. The big pupil of the children in Iraq shudders at anxiety; we cry over the stupidity of the human being. How will the world become? We wish for peace earnestly. However, if supposing that it meets, we will know more the pain of the other person. Then, declaring Y's mind, we want to grind on.
The menettes' project in this term are, for international, the support of Cochabamba YMCA (for the intellectual fault young people), and for the country, the support of YMCA (program for the learning fault children). We sacrifice least coins and mini-bazaar profit money to the YMCA (support for the upbringing of young people). The industry of our love is small. But we scramble for the hand and demand hope. We ask that it becomes a big industry with the Y's men.
Mr. Tastuo Honma who returned home from America made a speech at our regular meeting last month. In the beginning, he said: "The husbands in America praise their wife many time within one day -- you are beautiful; you are wonderful. By the way, the husband in Japan will be how?" Be relieved. We, Tokyo Menettes feel a speechless message "wonderful menettes" at the eyes of Y's men. We attend their regular meeting willingly.
I hope that Y's man & Y's menette attend the regular meeting together.
