Mary Poppins is my favorite movie of all times! This is how I educated my children. (Sort of saying) – When the kids were young we watched the original movie dozens of time and we never got tired of it. Yesterday we went together, Athena, Zeus, Ayumi and myself to see the new version of the film and it was again wonderful. Such movies are straight from heaven I think and I cannot thank Walt Disney enough for that. Really it was wonderful and that was a special day. As I write this blog (we are Monday morning) I heard that today is the Lunar Calendar’s New Year 2019. Happy New Year everyone and has a great Mary Poppins’ Day!

If funds allow me to go into production, I would like to set an African Production and Version of Mary Poppins. That would be great I think! I will contact Disney for that. Oh well… dreaming again, but as Mary Poppins says: “all that is impossible is possible”!

There are indeed many ways of involving the companies of a region to participate in the support of human developing societies. The goal would be that great companies around the world would become involved not just in charity but also into pragmatic strategies that can help a region to grow its level of education or support the local efforts to grow the regional economy. However, to get a financial involvement from anyone would also mean to provide benefits that would give sound purpose to a sense of wanting to give.

Today we met an employee of Win-Medics who came representing the president Mr. Shiraki whose absence was in consequence of a bad cold. I appreciated so much the initiative of our members Yuka and Takuya A. who sincerely came with many good concept ideas to set administration for the corporate membership as described in our system (click on the photo below this report).

To me, it was a wonderful moment of sharing and being inspired. Sumi was also present as she just returned from Europe on a PR mission meeting with wonderful people. I will elaborate more on the corporate membership of the Marine Foundation and precisely the effect of the concept of the Green Certificate to invite anyone onto the Marine Foundation’s corporate and sponsor’s platform.

Today was a special day. Indeed it was Ayumi”s birthday. I met Ayumi around the year 1998-1999 when I was in South of France. We met in the city of Antibes where I lived near the beach there, at the time. Soon after we met, my daughter Athena was conceived and we decided to return to Japan when she turned 1 year old. 

Since the conception of the Marine Foundation, at the birth of our son Zeus, some 16 years ago, Ayumi has shown constant support and great endurance. I remember that at the time I gave up everything to try imagining something like the Marine Foundation, which name at the time we did not even know. It was a long process of going from one stage to another and trying to cope with the expensive Japanese lifestyle of raising children in Tokyo. I would say that with comparing with the life of most businessmen around me, ours was pretty uncommon to fulfill. When you have a monthly salary, it is easier to plan ahead I suppose. But in my case I have to go month by month, not knowing for sure what would happen if something went wrong. However, nothing went wrong and we caught our way out of building the most amazing project which transpires the Marine Foundation today.

Therefore, I would say how grateful I am to Ayumi who has always swell managed to stake care of the children despite the crazy pioneer that I was at the inception of the organization on March 11, 2013. It has been times when we wanted to go on vacation just like everybody else and going to France and meet my mother was always on my mind. Today in 2019, things have changed of course and great fortune is smiling at our door.  Nevertheless remembering the hardship brings nostalgia to the heart and sometimes I would feel that I would not mind to start it all over again. In fact, today is not yet Ayumi’s birthday but it was celebrated today due to the invitation to her best friend Kiko. So it was a fantastic day of remembrance and a new start for our little family.
