pictures on the tents that is much taller than they are. They drew pictures of their memories from the summer,

There are children who suffer mental anguish even in wealthy societies. As these children are so full of anguish, theyand in the world. Letʼs see what goes beyond with this project in the future.

Painting, listening and playing the music from childhood; these are some of the strongest communication tools thatcannot even recognize their problems and feel at a complete loss. One of the topics during the meeting was how wecan be useful for world peace. Iʼm very happy to have decorated our shop Kenwood Square Marunouchi with thecan have these children visit KEH Tokyo.

Individual Membership

KEF is undoubtedly one of the volunteer organizations which attains the highest performance.
The group has been active throughout the 17 years since its establishment. During this time it established seven institutions abroad, and the number ofevents and exhibitions which stirred up sympathies and left a deep impression on so many people has also reached more than 300. Most importantly,
the number of children who have contributed to saving lives and creating good feelings will most likely exceed 10,000.
Although there are many NPOs and voluntary organizations with much bigger budgets and many more members than KEF, there are few which haveattained results of a scale so large not only in the meaning of their achievement, but also in terms of quantifiable contribution.
There is no doubt that these achievements are the crystallization of the dreams and goodwill of Representative Torii and the direct and indirect
supporters of the organization. Yet I feel this is only an opening chapter for KEF. I feel this organization will grow in great leaps and bounds as theJapanese society wakes to its economic and psychological maturity; realizing happiness itself lies in activities such as those of KEF.
I am proud to be a part of KEF and to make my small contribution to it. I hope to continue being a supporter, as it enriches my life and brings me happiness.
