ソニアさんからのE-mailの内容（5月13日）

いとしいシスターMiak

　元気でありますように、私たちは皆、元気です。私は、あなたが休日、山の中で非常に楽しんだと思います。今はネパールではとても暑い。

　私は、子供たちのためにもっと勉強しており、私たちのプロジェクトを立ち上げられるようにしたいです。私たちは、健康キャンプを最初に行いたいと思っています。国や医者から援助が得られることを望みます。最初この方法で、プロジェクトを立ち上げたいと思います。そしてストリートチルドレンの身の回りの世話をしたいです。ストリートチルドレンは村出身なので、そのような子供たちが増えないようにしたいのです。避難所ならばそこにいる子供たちだけが救われるけど、キャンプを作ればもっと多くの子供たちが手当てを受けることができて救われます。このことについてどう思いますか？

　他の人を当てにするだけでなく自分たちでも自立して資金を集める方法を行うことも賛成です。継続的に資金も集めなくてはいけないから。私も勉強をします。あなたも検討していると思います。ミーナさんのHOME FOR BUDDHASではどんなに運営されているかも知りたいです。ミーナさんの住所を教えてください。

　あなたはどう考えていますか？あなたの意見を聞いてからもっと詳細を調べたいです。

さようなら

日本からのE-mailの内容（5月20日）

ソニアさんへ

　返事が遅れてごめんなさい。計画を継続することはたやすくはないと思います。手伝ってくれる友達はいますか？もし健康キャンプをするにはどんなイメージで始めますか？どの位の規模でどんなスタイルで？一時的なのか、常時定住型なのか？ボランティアをしてくれる医者を簡単には見つけられますか？長期的に継続し続けるには覚悟が必要です。私もネパールにいれたらいいのに、でも夢を持ちましょう。

　とにかく日本では定期的にお金を集める方法を検討します。今のところはまだ難しいのです。少しずつコスモの会という学びの場を提供し、YOSHIKOさんに瞑想指導してもらったり、レオ先生にフランス語を教えてもらいネパール支援に協力してもらおうかと思います。二人ともとてもいい教師です。私ももっと働きたいと思っています、そして勉強しどの方法が寄付に最適なのかを検討します。ちょっと待っててね。

　その間に検討してください。ミーナさんに手紙を書いてください。ミーナさんはボランティアの経験がたくさんあります。カルカッタのマザーテレサの所でも働いていました。ミーナさんはたくさんのアドバイスをしてくれるでしょう。ミーナさんはポカラに住んでいます。機会があったら会ってください。

Dear sister Miaki
　I hope you are fine and we are all fine too. I hope you enjoyed a lot in mountain in ur holidays. It's very hot in Nepal now .

　I am studying more for childrens and as far as my study i found that we have to established our project first then only we can get help from others i mean in the begining it's really difficult to establish.
　I am thinking to do some health camp in some rular areas first and for that i hope i can also get some
help from my country and from doctors too.

　In this way we can stablished our project then we do for street children because the main problem is in village and the origin of street children is also come from villages so we should try to stop that trend first otherwise it will be increasing day by day.
　And this idea really appricate by others because by the shelter for street children only those children who were with us can be benifited but in this way hundrends of children can get treatment so please write me what do u think for this? Give ur view towards this.
I like ur idea not depend upon others . Actually i was also thinking that we should do something by ourself for children so that they will not get problem after we start i mean it's a very long term project to help street children and we need lots of money for long time so what is the market of Pasmina and other handicraft in Japan . I think that business is good for collect money.
　I am still learning more and i hope ur also doing same as i'm doing . Onething which i couldn't understand that Is Home for Budha is a project which is running
by Meena in Pokhara?

　what do u think that we should do business first or open a project ? And what kind of help can meena give to us. did she know me ? I like to write to her so give me her address too. So what do u think to do first let me know. I will let you know when i have some more details. Bye . See u .

Dear Soniya,
Thank you for your E-mail.

　Till today I had to work a lot like typical Japanese, so I'm sorry to be late to write to you.
I think it's not easy to continue the program. Do you have some friends to help you? If you make a health camp, what kind of image would you begin? How big and what style will it be? Will you hold periodic camp or permanent? Can you find a voluntary doctor easily? We need to be bold to continue the program for a long time. I wish I werein Nepal to help you. Let's have a dream.

　Anyway in Japan, we have to find the way to collect the money perioicaly. It's difficult to appeal for the moment. We should begin little by little. Now we hold meditation class which Yoshiko teaches to support us. And we want to hold more frequently. We want to make French class by Dr. Leo who supports Nepalese
children. They are very good teachers. But so far there are only few students. I'll talk with my friends about the way. I try to work more and I am studying the most suitable way for donation. Please wait.

　Meanwhile you think about it. Please write to Meena. She has many experiences for volunteer work. She had worked for Mother's House in Culcutta before. She is like God. She can advise us many thing. She lives in Pokhara, if you have an opprtunity,　you should meet her.

Your sister Miaki
