tiffany heart necklace Why should people care about this Center?The Center’s primary goal is to assist individuals with disabilities for successful employment. They gain self-esteem and find themselves being more self-sufficient and independent. At the same time, they become taxpaying citizens who contribute back.How do you feel you can help raise $72K for the Center?I hope to leverage my book to promote the recognition of the Center in the community. Once its purpose and operations are understood, more people should be willing to volunteer or assist financially. In addition, 30% of proceedings and any extra donations received for the book benefit the Center.Who are the individuals who influenced you when you were growing up in Japan?
My hero is always my 99-year-old grandmother who lives in Japan. She has taught me to treat people with respect, to be strong and courageous and to be able to say "No" when we have to. She is also a business person whose motto is "customer and quality first." She lost her husband and brother in the Philippines during WW2. During and after the war, she ran a family business while raising my father and uncle. She established a group and became a chairperson to help widows and women in the community. She never remarried but has devoted all her life to her family, business, employees, widows and single mothers in the community tiffany chain necklace.

tiffany diamond neckalce Describe what most people say are your best qualities.I may be seen as an independent, optimistic, dependable, adventurous, unique and funny person.Please discuss your new book and how it got started.My new book, Second Chance: An In-depth Case Study on Nonprofit Organization's Resource Allocation and Operational Maximization, started with a class assignment in one of my graduate courses at Lincoln Memorial University. At the time, Dr. Daryl Green was my professor. The project was called a Real-World Application (RWA). It’s about the operations improvement for a nonprofit organization in Maryville, Tennessee. TN Vocational Center, funded by federal and local government, supplies parts for Denso where I work.During the research, I was inspired by the staff and individuals with disabilities who were trying very hard to learn work skills and seek permanent employment. It was a perfect project that God prepared with the perfect timing, a convenient location, hard-working people, and Dr. Green’s challenge to have students publish a book. It was a Second Chance for me to go back to school and resume my career after surviving cancer. It’s God’s grace. It was a perfect opportunity for me to reach out to people who needed help. I happened to be there to complete the project and to write about it.What tips would you give others who want to assist nonprofit organizations like the Center?Knowing our expertise or the area specialized in may be helpful. The volunteer work doesn't have to be significantly big or time-consuming. It can be as little as spending a few hours a week to help clients with math and reading to pass GED. Lately we found very effective and inspiring to clients by giving mock interviews. They were thrilled by being interviewed by real world managers! Lots of volunteers are wanted by different nonprofit organizations in the community. Check out a community bulletin board tiffany key necklace!
