The Tanoto Foundation Supports Japanese Charities

>> Mar 6, 2015

In Japan, there are many needs for nonprofits like the Sukanto Tanoto Foundation. This foundation and its cohorts have been aiding the many Japanese who are struggling every single year. The lesson that can be learned from a foundation like this is that many of the wealthiest in the world can start their own foundations to give their money away properly. This is a much more efficient use of resources, and the donors can get in touch with many more people.

The Design

The design of these foundations comes with the seed money from the person who is giving. The philanthropist who has their name on all the letterheads is going to front the money to start a campaign through this charity. They will offer enough cash to make sure that the charity can function properly. The charity will begin to operate, and they will take requests from locals who are in need of these monies.

The Requests

These foundations can strategically give money to many different causes throughout their local area. These foundations can reach of to people who make local requests, but they can also offer grants to those who are not local to their operations. They can accept grant requests from many different places, and they will honor these requests as they are able. The money is distributed properly to many people in many different parts of the world, and that money is going to make it much easier for the nonprofits around the area to thrive.

The Savings

When wealthy business people are giving away their money without thinking, they are not recording what happens to that money. They have no idea if it made a different, and they are not sure if they should give more when that money runs out. Using a foundation of this type will allow the donors to see which monies were used properly. They can give more monies to those who need it, but they can withhold funds from those who are no longer in need. The days of the private businessperson giving away large sums of money without a foundation have long since passed.

Everyone can learn a lesson from the way these foundations are created. They are designed to give more power to the donors who front all the cash. They can send the money right where it need to go, and those in need will be able to apply for assistance easily.

Character education is crucial for any child so that he grows into someone with good character and good moral values. We can see a variety of moral disease occurs everywhere recently. Children do need character education earlier!

Child's good moral character can’t be bought or inherited. Child's good character should be built through a long process. Moreover, children are the future generation who will take current leadership. Therefore it is necessary to educate children as soon as possible in order to create a children generation who are smart, intelligent, good morals, and able to compete at the regional and international levels.

How to build child’s good character from home:
1. Establish a positive belief in children from an early age by giving credence to the child to make decisions for themselves, as well as directing the child to develop their talents and potential. Don’t pressure your child, either smooth or rough way.
2. Allowing the child to interact with other people or socialize. Environmental choices will determine the character of the child; therefore you need to establish and maintain a good environment that is conducive for your child. As you know, hanging out with the bad characters will make the child in bad character, and if your child gets along with good people, the child will grow well in good characters too.
3. Allowing the child to build spiritual relationship with God. This is useful for installing good values for your child. The spiritual connection can be run in worship rituals and daily social life.

As a parent, we should strive to educate children well by instilling good character education in order to make the children who useful for their family, parent, and country.

A Kitty and Husband’s Hand

After the locked up incident and I rescued him from the next door neighbor’s rain gutter, my relationship with Koneng is much closer. Now he loves to sleep on my lap and often sleep on our bed. The kitty might think that I'm his hero :)
