Date: 21/08/2019

Sarajean Rossitto is an American social entrepreneur who has had a long career in Japan collaborating with government agencies, corporations, and NPO organizations in Japan and abroad. 

In this video, she talks a little about her work running workshops and seminars on conflict negotiation and then explains the work of Mirai no Mori, an NPO organization working with kids living in orphanages or who are in need of extra support due to trauma. 

The Mirai no Mori organization gets kids in need of support out into outdoor activities with other kids who have similar backstories and in this way can empower them and build confidence that will prepare them for a healthy, happy life.

There are volunteer opportunities at Mirai no Mori discussed at the end of the video.

Big thanks to Sarajean for talking with me and sharing her personal insights, challenges, and stories.
