ðžMuse Creation celebrates its 11th anniversary. This is another milestone event.
ïŒæ¥æ¬èªã¯äžéšã«ïŒ
This month marks the 11th anniversary of the founding of Muse Creation. Although the pandemic has forced me to change the activities from what we used to be, it has been an opportunity for Muse Creation to gain a new perspective. I am now starting to involve not only Japanese but also Indian people in our activities.
On Sunday, I attended a social impact event organised by YPO.
This involved inviting NGO representatives and philanthropists from Bangalore to speak with participants in a round-table discussion format.
Of the six participating organisations, three are organisations I know well.
Despite being a foreigner, my social contribution activities in India are quite rich. I have come to want to share my experiences not only with the Japanese but also with Indians.
I share here the transcript I read when I was given the opportunity to address the audience at the beginning of the event.
I met Arvind in New York in 1996 and moved to Bangalore in 2005. In the past, I was so preoccupied with building my career that I could not afford to look at social responsibility. However, my thinking changed soon after I moved to India. Poverty is unrelenting and eye-opening.
Â
I wanted to know social realities, even if only a little, so I started visiting charitable organisations in 2007. I then set up an NGO called Muse Creation in 2012 and I have visited about 20 charities in Bangalore and Mumbai more than 80 times with Japanese members and their families.
Â
Three of the six organisations represented today, Newark Mission, OBLF and Bangalore Hospice Trust, are organisations that I have visited many times over the past 10 years. The progress that each of these organisations has made over the past decade has amazed me with each visit.
Â
The founders and most of the staff of the operation are very aware of their mission. They continue their mission without giving up.
Â
At first I thought we are âgiversâ by donating money and playing with children, singing and dancing with their people. However, It was a misconception. We have been given, what we cannot see. I have learnt so much from visiting charities and witnessing their efforts that it is hard to put into words.
Â
It is a life-enriching experience that money cannot buy. Muse Creationâs work has also helped me to develop an eye for Indian life and society. This is one of the reasons I have been able to continue this activity for so long.
Â
Seeing is believing.
Â
Normally, visiting the charities is a shortcut to a deeper understanding, but that is not easy. I think it is a very valuable opportunity to hear the voices of several contributors in one place.
Â
I believe that this event is very meaningful for all of us.Â
Â
I would like to thank to everyone who has visited today, and to the organizers. I hope that today will be the start of one.
Thank you.Â

âThe six organisations that took part in this event are listed below. Also, Vendors, who provided the tasty food and yummy drinks, are cares about the environment and the society!
Â
âI have documented most of the activities I have been involved in since moving to India on my blog. The records of my visits to charitable organisations include the impressions of the members who accompanied me. All are precious memories.
