Thank you Eire Systems for your generous donation!
Thank you again this year for supporting the 2020 KIWL 500km bike ride ending in Sendai.
EIRE Systems is a leading independent provider of professional IT services to the financial, insurance and multinational sectors in Japan and throughout the Asia Pacific region. EIRE Systems has expertise across a wide spectrum of Information Technologies, with a track record for successfully completing hundreds of assignments since its establishment in 1996.
We provide professional IT services, both project-based and ongoing operational support, in two main areas:

Project Management
With offices in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore, EIRE Systems is in a position to provide local, regional, and global IT strategy and technology solutions to its multinational clients.
The EIRE Systems Story
The EIRE Systems Story began with a business partnership between two IT consultants, Matthew Connolly and Paul Timmons, who had a few things in common. Both are originally from Dublin, Ireland and they each first came to Japan as graduates to work at major Japanese technology companies; more importantly they also shared a common interest in the rapidly developing information technology sector and a common goal to establish a company of their own to provide better IT Solutions to the increasingly internationalized Japan market.
Matthew and Paul continued to develop their own professional skills and quickly established themselves as leading independent IT Project Management Consultants, mostly for the Financial Services industry. As EIRE Systems has grown, the company has been very successful in winning and consistently delivering on increasingly more complex and high-profile projects, as a result the business has expanded to provide a wider range of IT Support, Project Management, Consulting and Outsourcing Services to Multinational and internationalized corporate clients across various industries and business sectors.
EIRE Systems’ growth has been mostly organic, and since its inception has expanded to 200 professionals across four office locations including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai, with proven ability to deliver throughout the Asia Pacific region. The common goals that lead to the creation of EIRE Systems remain the same today as we continue to strive to grow our business to better meet our clients’ requirements and to provide ongoing opportunities and career development for our employees.

We are very excited to announce that after many months of discussion Common Sense and YouMeWe NPO will be working together to create the Digital Citizenship material available in Japanese.

Every day, millions of parents and educators trust Common Sense reviews and advice to help them navigate the digital world with their kids.

Welcoming our intern Joseph
Joseph Bray is from the city of London, and obtained a Psychology Bachelors and Masters from the University of Leicester and Edinburgh respectively. During his spare time, he enjoys writing, listening to music, and bouldering. His career goals include working for the Civil Service in his home country, while his aspirations are to be able to open his own NPO to aid families that have loved ones who are suffering from terminal illness. While in Edinburgh, when he wasn't working in bars and pubs, he was volunteering at his local church to help feed the homeless. Joseph has always had a fondness for Japanese culture and is relishing the opportunity to be able to explore Tokyo and work for a compassionate organisation like YouMeWe. He is throwing himself headfirst into the current projects, and hopes to aid YouMeWe further down the line with their future endeavours. Cheers YouMeWe!

Welcoming our Intern Evalina
Hello! My name is Evalina Chinn I am a recent college graduate of Cal State LA where I received my degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I am taking some time off my academics to expand my experience in the professional work place. This fall I will attend graduate school where I hope to conduct relevant research in Audiology, specifically cochlear implants in pediatric patients. My hobbies include taking my dogs on walks, going on bike rides, and swimming. When I am not interning for YouMeWe I am coaching swim teams in San Francisco, California. I am having a blast in Tokyo working with the team at YouMeWe! Thank you for this opportunity.
A great kick off with a donation from 76 working with KIWL for the 2020 Bike Ride sponsorship
Introduced through KIWL and sponsors, 76 has come on board to help sponsor many of the activities that KIWL has organized in 2020 to benefit YouMeWe and has sent through their initial donation. We truly appreciate how the connection with KIWL has opened up so many doors for us to continue our program.
Thank you to Microsoft
We had a very enlightening seminar on Change Management held internally by Anew Bednarova and Michal Kolomaznik visiting from the Czech Republic and in Tokyo for meetings. They took time out of their trip to visit YouMeWe.
NightZooKeeper Milestones
We will be presenting children with the certificates of accomplishment for the level of words they have written in their accounts during their high school graduation ceremonies.
