Since 1997 our corporate “Smile Club” has opened “a
class for children weak in exercise”, as a physical
exercise class that can also be attended by mentally
retarded children.
This one class, which we started in the city of Kashiwa,
Chiba Prefecture, in response to an appeal from a
mother with her autistic child, has now developed into 11
classes in 6 regions, as we see today.
Through this activity widely spread by word of mouth, I
felt again how little chance of taking exercise there is
for disabled children except in class or in school.
Since I started activity in 2001 as NPO corporate
(Non-Profit Organization) I happened to share my idea
with Ya-Ru Huang, a Chinese professor who was then
studying sports for thedisabled in Japan and desiring to
open a similar class also in China She invited me to
observe a weak children’s school in Beijin, and in 2002
we jointly prepared a sports exercise manual.
The next year, with a subsidy from the Japan Foundation,
and guided by Gi-Hong Seo, a teacher at a Korean school
for the deaf, we observed a weak children’s school in
Seoul, and in 2004, guided by Prof. Suthi of a college of
physical education, we visited a royal weak children’s
school in Thailand.
Despite differences of the state and system among
weak children’s schools in respective countries, we
realized that what we have in common as friends in the
same Asia was our sympathy with disabled children and
adults. What we specially felt this time was that every
country was emphasizing the participation of the
disabled in sports, and that there was a need for
surroundings where the healthy and the handicapped
could jointly enjoy sports.
As a result, as NPO corporate “Smile Club”, we began
to cherish a dream of exchanging friendships among
these countries, preferably including children and
adults, whether they are disabled or not.
The workshop we organized this time was a very big
opportunity as the first step to attain this dream. At first,
we intended to narrow our theme down to the mentally
retarded children ( including adults) but changed it to the
disabled in general, which is more comprehensive,in our
aim of mutually understanding today’s situation of the
disabled in each country.
Despite insufficient time we could spare for preparations
our aim of the workshop has been successfully achieved,
thanks to enthusiastic presentations by all the professors
and teachersthat took part in the workshop.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the
Japan Foundation.
As we had expected, sports surroundings for the disabled
were lagging far behind those for the healthy in every
country we visited, and this posed many specific tasks on
each country. We will be very glad if our discussion can be
of any help to searching a solution to them in each country.
But if we have a workshop once for all and no more, we
shall find it impossible to find any solution. We earnestly
desire to achieve our dream by all means some day, by
organizing workshops repeatedly, for the 2nd time and for
the 3rd time.
