Sushi? Kyoto? Anime?



Of course, you know there is much more that this country has to offer.

Recently, the model for getting tourists to visit Japan

has been changing. The Japanese government wants to

make Japan a top tourist destination as part of a new strategy

at a group competition.



The contest proposals will be judged by Watanabe Hiroyuki, the Assistant

Director of the Social Solutions Division of Dentsu, which is leading

the Japan Tourism Project. Mr. Watanabe is also a graduate of

“When things are difficult, try saying with smile that it’s going

to be okay. If you do this, you receive the strength to go on.”

– Lilian Wagala



“We have a song. The song gives us hope.

If you keep hope, your dreams will come true.”

– Hezekiah Ogira



In spite of the hardships of life in Kibera, Kenya’s biggest slum,

there are residents there who work to support and encourage the children

who walk through the same slums as they did growing up.

Two such residents are Lilian Wagala, the founder of the Mashimoni

Good Samaritan School for the Orphans, and Hezekiah Ogira, the

school’s vice-principal. Both will be coming to give a talk at the ICC.

If you are interested in hearing about Africa, the plight of those

in poverty, and the children with the strength to survive in these areas,

then be sure to join this event.



★After the talk session, there will be a cafe-style post-lecture mixer

　(6:00-6:40pm) in the same venue.

　Enjoy casually talking with the guest speakers!



◆About the Mashimoni Good Samaritan School for the Orphans

(A message from Chiaki Hayakawa)

In 1999, Lilian started an elementary school for about 20 orphans

in the small one room tenement house that was her home. Now, the

Mashimoni Good Samaritan School for the Orphans has become a big

family, with 389 elementary school students, 30 students living in

a special children’s house, 5 job training students, and 50 high

school students. The school is now a cooperative effort between

Lilian and Chiaki, a Japanese resident of Kenya for 23 years.



The Kibera slum is an extremely poor area where people working

away from home live and support each other.

Lilian and Hezekiah, who were both born and raised in the Kibera slums,

lost their parents at a young age, leaving them to raise their

younger brothers and sisters as they tried to survive. Many children

who lose their parents in Kibera are shuffled back and forth between

impoverished relatives and face violence, hard labor, sexual abuse, and

other unimaginable suffering.



Lilian helped children with these scars and abandoned children

by taking them in, having them attend school, and giving

them her love. Hezekiah was also one of those children.

He grew up to become a teacher at the Mashimoni school and

is now its vice principal, supporting the school alongside Lilian.



Lilian and Hezekiah will give a lively talk at the ICC and share

stories about the children, the song they sing about living in poverty

without losing hope, the source of the strength to overcome their

hardships, the difficulty of running the school, the dreams of the

children, and daily life in the Kibera slums. Let’s share a moment

together to think about the world’s future.



◆Profiles of the Speakers

●Lilian Wagala

Born in 1970 and lives in the Kibera slums. The eldest daughter

of 18 brothers and sisters, and the mother of 2 children. Both of

her parents died from illness when her youngest brother was 5 years old.

From then on she raised her siblings in place of her parents.

In 1999, she started the Mashimoni Good Samaritan School for the

Orphans in her one room tenement house, at the time for 20 orphans.

The school supports orphans, children from broken families, juveniles

living in poverty, and widowed mothers.



●Hezekiah Ogira

Born in 1986 and lives in the Kibera slums. The second son of

11 brothers and sisters. At the age of 9, his mother died when his

youngest brother was only a year old. His father married again when

Hezekiah was in 6th grade, which is also when his new stepmother began

abusing him and his siblings. His stepmother took him and his

siblings and left them in a rural village, but at age 14 Hezekiah

returned to Kibera and labored daily to earn enough money to go

to school. He worked for a year and was then helped by Lilian

after meeting her at a church. With her support, he was able to

get more money for school and could attend high school, volunteering

at the Mashimoni School at the same time. After graduating in 2004,

he become a teacher at Mashimoni and brought his brothers and

sisters back from the rural village into Kibera. In 2008, he became

the school’s vice-principal, the position her currently holds.

He is an adviser for the music department, teaching singing,

dancing, drums, and he leads the Mashimoni school music team to

win the Kenya elementary school music competition nationals year

after year.



●Chiaki Hayakawa

She attended the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies Department

of Indian and Pakistani Languages, specializing in Urdu. In 1985,

she left school and began seeing the world. At the end of her

long travels she took up residence in Kenya. Chiaki plans

study tours, acts as a guide, and coordinates television, newspaper
