I'm supporting foster children in Japan by raising vital funds to support Bridge for Smile

I’ve signed up for RBC Race for the Kids to raise much-needed funds to support children who cannot depend on their parents to overcome disparities in “hope” and “security” and gain the courage to face the future.

For over 17 years, Bridge for Smile (“B4S”) has supported foster children to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to live independently after they leave their foster placements at the age of 18.

I'm excited that this year's donations will support B4S's flagship programs called "Sudachi" (Leaving the Nest). It is a program that teaches high school seniors the basic skills for living independently through a series of 6 one-day seminars. It also provides an opportunity for the youths to find fellow peers with whom they can confide after "leaving their nests".

Let’s join together and help make a difference to live out B4S’s vision, “We envision a society in which every foster child can live in happiness.”

Thank you for supporting foster children in Japan!
