For the Kids

246


i’ve always loved kids. ever since my first nephew noah was born 23 years ago, i was hooked. watching them grow up and watching them smile is so rewarding. it kills me inside to see a kid sad. so every time i see a kid down, i try my best to get them up. i’d dress up as a clown if i had to. for this girl, a simple high five and some crazy foreigner speaking strange japanese was enough to make her smile. i will never forget this moment. the cutest girl ever!

when i was growing up, a blow pop (lollipop) was my favorite candy. i brought 3 bags from hawaii, 20 in each. that made 60 kids happy.
mission 4 was all about making kids happy. our team did a great job! thank you matsu for taking these priceless photos.
