In 1985, we expanded our activities overseas and opened an orphanage in Bangladesh to give opportunities for education to well-motivated orphans and children from impoverished families. Since we first met Mr Yamaguchi in 2014, WSO has awarded scholarships to our children. Many have got jobs in their chosen areas and started new lives. We have many more children needing your help.
