I direct a charity musical (in Japan) that raises money to build schools in Papua New Guinea. We collect new-used school supplies, too, and in this way help improve education in a remote part of the country (no cars, no roads, no electricity or running water) that might otherwise be forced to sell land/ lumber/ natural resources to logging and mining companies. We help them stay self-sufficient, promote eco-tourism, educate the kids there about Japan and educate Japanese kids about PNG. Furthermore, the performance is in English and Japanese, which allows people in our prefecture to practice their English, and helps foreigners and locals to connect on a community level. Last year we also raised money for the Chuetsu earthquake region, which destroyed hundreds of homes.

I just wish I had time to sleep...
