July 15th Bonus Day
The July Bonus Day is two weeks away! Mark your calendar for July 15, GlobalGiving’s one-day campaign aimed at helping us secure large-dollar donations. On July 15th starting at 9 a.m. ET, instead of matching small-dollar donations, GlobalGiving will match donations of $100-$1,000 while funds last.
The higher the donation, the higher the match! At this point, you might be asking, is this how do other nonprofits like us succeed? How does COVID-19 factor into our major gift strategy? "Cityzens Giving for Recovery is a 12-month campaign bringing together all City Football Group clubs, focusing on donations, expertise, facilities, resources, and voice, on making a positive difference to the recovery of the people affected by the Covid-19. As part of this, they are matching donations on their crowdfunding platforms for the funding of nine recovery-linked projects near each of their clubs up to a total of ¥67 million* matched against all donations received on or by 31 August. One of which is YouMeWe NPO. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/cityzens-giving-for-recovery-yokohama/ YouMeWe’s project will provide support to both the children and staff in care homes in Yokohama, Tohoku, Tokyo and Nagoya. Essential goods will be provided to equip homes with the tools they need to run efficiently and provide a safe environment for children to live and learn. Staff will also be provided with psychosocial support to ensure their own health and wellbeing. Nine Clubs. Thousands of staff. Millions of fans. For Recovery. At Yokohama Marinos FC, will be bringing together the staff and fans to help our communities get back on their feet. YouMeWe NPO is an organization that focuses on supporting orphanages in Japan and has taken part in a campaign to support the recovery of people in need. Once you have donated you can also show your support by sharing campaign messages on social media or fundraising for a project.

Global Challenge Team YSEALI (Young Southeast Asian Leadership Initiative)
Every week we would like to introduce the teams of our Global Challenge. Team YSEALI. The Young Southeast Asian Leadership Initiative (YSEALI) is a program under the U.S. State Department, aiming to strengthen leadership development and networking in Southeast Asia. YSEALI seeks to build the leadership capabilities of youth in the region and nurture an ASEAN community of leaders who work across borders to solve common issues. Through different YSEALI programs, YSEALI members have the opportunity to join academic and professional exchanges to the US, join regional workshops on education/economic growth/sustainable development/civic engagement, and receive small seeds funding to implement projects that will bring positive changes and impact to the community and the region. During this pandemic situation, YSEALI alumni and members are contributing their efforts in helping communities with different ways and initiatives. Follow #YSEALIHeroes on social media to learn about those activities and projects.
The Global Challenge YSEALI team consists of YSEALI alumni, mentors, and members. Across the region YSEALI has over 140,000 active members and more than 3,500 alumni.
As many of the children in the homes YouMeWe is supporting are multi-cultural, we are thrilled to have YSEALI join us on this journey to give the kids the leadership in many a difference with their lives.
Global Challenge Team JPM Komagata Ryo is doing great!
Global Challenge Team JPM Komagata Ryo is doing great! Our team of 7 come from various backgrounds and fitness levels but the challenge seems to be a great motivator for us all in different ways. 5 of our members are in Japan and 2 in Bali, Indonesia. Distance makes it difficult to get together as a team but technology allows us to communicate, encourage each other and make the most of this challenge. It’s been wonderful to have people step up and contribute their time to help the team by setting up group calls, organizing and creating a team photo and keeping each other motivated and up to date on challenges and information.
2 of our teammates work at an orphanage and clock their steps chasing after the children all day. 1 has found it inspiring to get out daily to make sure he gets his 10K steps and another has gone from couch to marathon walker to make sure he stays at the top while engaging for the first time in social media via the community. Our top teammate in kilometers logged, commutes to work, walks around his neighborhood, gets to the gym for weights and does some extra cycling or jogging to top it off. Our teammate who brought us all together generally gets his steps in his daily activities in the office, chasing his 5 year old around and working up a sweat on his stationary bike in the evenings. I love my long walks on the beach or around our neighborhood and nearby rice fields, a few laps in the pool, dancing around the house, a bit of yoga and generally moving about in day to day activities.
All in all, although we are not all together, we are finding way to make the most of this challenge while having fun and using the competitive nature in us to grow, learn and enjoy the benefits of better health and wellness.
Thank you, YouMeWe for allowing us all to be a part of this with you. We are still trying to figure out how one is able to get 50 to over 100 thousand steps in a day, but there is still time.
Best regards,
Tricia Hedden
Thank you BCCJ for the proceeds from the Online Pub Quiz

Thank you, we had so much fun. On Zoom! YouMeWe was lucky enough to have a team that came in 2nd to boot.
Japan's 30,000 hidden assets
We detest the phrase “Throwaway children” We see the children that YouMeWe supports as an asset which we are happy to continue to support and invest in their futures. Their futures will help the country as we struggle with more people over 65 years old per capita and less under 15 years old per capita.

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.

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.
