Tokyo, Japan — Ever since its foundation on July 13, 1930, Reiyukai has been advocating its philosophy— the values of devoting oneself for the sake of others and the community. The “Reiyukai Foundation Festival” is a celebration that is held in over ten locations all over Japan to share and introduce the spirits that has never changed for the last seven decades.

On Sunday, July 12, JOY-FEST in TOKYO was held in Reiyukai Headquarter’s Shakaden. Their event keyword was “ENJOY.” “EN (?) ” in Japanese, can be translated as “bonding.” The different programs, activities and workshops that were presented during the big event was an opportunity for everyone to be aware of their connections.

Tokyo, Japan — Reiyukai America once again proudly supported the “New Life Adventure’s Used Postage Stamps Collecting Drive.” The New Life Adventure (NLA), supported by Reiyukai in Japan, aims for a healthy development of the youth. Through the NLA, teens in Japan exchanged used postage stamps for cash, then purchased wheelchairs to donate to welfare centers and hospitals.

On August 6, Madoka Obara, Reiyukai America National Committee Member representing Los Angeles/Pasadena region, visited the New Life Adventure Administration office in Tokyo, Japan, and made an official presentation of used stamps that were collected through multiple Reiyukai America members. Reiyukai America members are always invited to join to this cause!  For more details, visit www.Reiyukai-Usa.org.
