Thank you Micron for your generous donations of laptops
We cannot do what we do without the help of donors and companies in the community. We want to thank Micron for their generous donation of laptops which we have brought into our inventory.
These laptops are essential for the youth who are leaving high school and continuing their education with the help of having their own laptop which they can connect to their universities and fellow students.
Thank you "CyberLink" for the donation!
On behalf of YouMeWe, we want to extend our sincerest gratitude for your recent donation. Your generosity has allowed us to continue our mission, and make a positive impact on the life of all children that YouMeWe helps.
It's encouraging to see a company like yours taking an active interest in supporting the community.

How well do we actually know who we’re talking with?
On the web, in video games, and on social media, it’s easy to meet and chat with people from all over the world. This can be great, but it also has some risks. How well do we actually know who we’re talking with? In this video from commonsense.org you’ll hear what teens have to say about meeting and talking to people online. You can also think about what kinds of information you’re sharing and think of ways to keep your online friendships safe and positive.
A little change makes a big difference.

We held meetings online with donor companies

The founder of You Me We,
The founder of You Me We, an NPO devoted to providing resources and "fishing poles" to children in orphanages, institutions, and foster care, Michael Perry Clemons, opened my eyes to the issues surrounding the increase of children who have suffered abuse, trauma, or abandonment in Japan. His team's efforts are admirable and genuinely speak to the sanctity of life and how educating parents is crucial for children to survive and thrive. Michael also shares stories about his grandfather, mother, banking career, and how You Me We came to be. This is a robust conversation that inspires, hopefully, some self-reflection.
