Our work in the Philippines if more focused on the Social Impact purpose of YouMeWe. Japan has more people over the age of 65 per capita in the world and less under the age of 15. Hence the demand for nurses in Japan is close to 1,000,000.
We feel there are great opportunities for South East Asian Youth, specifically Filipino children and nurses who are looking for a future in Japan.
We have partnered with ALS in Boracay who is teaching children who were taken out of school during the pandemic to help their families economically. We also are connected to a local group educating nurses to be able to pass the Japanese exam and enable to help them come to Japan to be employed.
Another aspect of our connection with the Philippines is the fact that many children in orphanages in Japan are multicultural and have Filipino parent(s). We want the kids in the homes to connect with their other culture and see themselves as double as opposed to "Half Japanese".
The nurses and students in the Philippines need to have Japanese language conversation practice BEFORE coming to Japan. This is an area where the kids we work with could get certified and teach the language and utilize the NightZooKeeper software.
We are also looking to build a prototype of IT on Wheels, please see the YouTube link about the bus we are looking to build and keep in Manila but roll out to the provinces to teach coding and language to children in the provinces.

Thank you for your continued support

Michael Clemons and the YouMeWe Team
