How I met JADA
My connection with JADA began through my friend, Nobue Sugiura. One day, when I visited her home, I heard from JADA’s representative, Takanobu Sugiura, about his work supporting children and young people facing school refusal and hikikomori.
What struck me most was that the support is not aimed only at returning to school, but looks ahead to further education, employment and participation in society.
Children go on to work through their own efforts and become people who support society.
I felt this has great meaning not only for the young people and their families, but for society as a whole.
I came to share this way of thinking, and wanted to be part of this work myself.
I first got involved by remaking thumbnails (cover images) for past YouTube videos. As I learned more about the work, my wish to help grew stronger.
Today I am also involved in producing videos for international audiences, sharing information and administrative work, and I have expanded my role to include providing consultations for parents.
