War and the Power To Live Program
supported by Red Cross
Thinking about those at the forefront on various "struggles", now is the time to support the "Power to Live"
At any given moment there are people on this earth suffering as victims of fighting, terrorism or urban violence. Globalism is advancing on all fronts and our world is becoming borderless, so that it is no long just about "others" anymore, even for us Japanese. Get to know the lives and circumstances of various people as they are depicted in these films and, starting with those around you, why not lend your strength and support a universal "Power to Live"?
