By providing a pediatrics department, sick child care, and after-school care at our elementary school, we aim to be able to provide comprehensive support for children’s illnesses on campus. We also aim to enable dual-income families to balance work and
child-rearing with peace of mind. In addition, in response to the current situation where academic ability is declining, we not only provide an education that emphasizes knowledge, but also arts education to hone students’ sensibilities and practical economic education to cultivate the skills needed to survive.

I was also a little worried about the idea of an unknown doctor with no significant assets speaking out to build an elementary school. However, even if there was a slim chance given Japan’s current difficult situation, I felt that I had to take on the challenge, and I have continued to move forward. I believe that this led to a connection with Miss Japan, and that this project has quickly grown to the support of 10,000 people. We are still only halfway there, so we will continue to work hard toward our dream of founding an elementary school. We appreciate your continued support. ”
