The Ones Left Behind Documentary
"Good evening, my name is Michael Perry-Clemons. I am the founder of YouMeWe NPO which focuses on giving orphans computers and job skills.
In a country with more people over the age of 65 and less children under the age of 15 per capita, from the first time I went into an orphanage to play Santa Claus in 2007, I never walked out.
We focus on not, marginalized children, but MAXIMIZABLE children in Japan.
Frankly speaking, when I first learned of the documentary, I was hesitant to get too close to the film from a YouMeWe perspective because this would highlight what happens when one loses their children due to abuse, neglect and/or economic reasons.
I watched the film and decided to do whatever we can to herald the very same women who should be supported in every possible way by helping them raise their children. By either providing laptops so they can apply and do work remotely rather than having to find and work at 4 separate part time jobs to make ends meet. By making them employable and them also MAXIMIZED, it is what people DO and not what they say that matters and truly helps.
So documentary's like Rionne's, interest in the plight of the mothers but more importantly, children do not ask to be born and when they are, they deserve everything that life has to offer and we as neighbors, relatives and friends need to do more."
