Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood dominated by health concerns. Doctors
told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and “they
didn’t think I had a lot longer to live”. But during a later visit to the doctor, his family learned
the hole had closed. “Somehow I was cured and I became
a normal kid,” Fujiyama says. “And I had a second chance.”
During his second year at the
University of Mary Washington, he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group
and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw—barefoot children collecting cans and
sleeping in the streets. Fujiyama realized he could help give other children
their own second chance.
Today, his organization, Students
Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and
families in need.
He started by telling his friends
about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs. “When I had my very first meeting, only two people showed up,” he says. “I knew I had to keep fighting.” He persuaded his younger sister, Cosmo, to join the cause. “She’s dynamite,.” He says. “When she talks in front of a
crowd, she can move mountains. Knowing that she was behind it, I knew I could
do anything.” Since 2006, the siblings’ organization has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than
$750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the
establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college.
Fujiyama says students are deeply
committed to the organization. They raise money and then travel to Honduras to
help building houses. While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working
alongside volunteers, he spends a large portion of the year on the road
visiting colleges to raise funds. Cosmo Fujiyama, 23, lives in Honduras full
time to coordinate(协调)the group’s building efforts on the ground.
Students Helping Honduras is
working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village. Many
of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998. A lot of them
didn’t have access to clean water or health care,
and they didn’t have a school. Fujiyama’s group helped build 44 homes in the village named “Sunshine Village”. The organization is also
raising funds to build a water tower, an eco-friendly sanitation system and a
library.
