A Special Mother's Day Celebration

On May 11, 2025, a memorable event will take place in honor of Mother's Day, organized by the Heart Ribbon Association. With generous sponsorship from KMD Corporation's Pipepro, families will gather at the luxurious Grand Ark Hanzomon Hotel in Tokyo for a culinary experience filled with gratitude and learning.

Event Highlights

The event, aptly named "Family Dinner to Say Thank You," will provide children and their single parents with a unique opportunity to express their appreciation for their mothers. The program includes:

• - A Special Seminar by Shiseido: Mothers will participate in a complimentary seminar offered by Shiseido, which focuses on skincare and personal well-being. This session will allow mothers to unwind and learn from experts.
• - Writing Expressions of Gratitude: While their mothers are engaged in the seminar, children aged 11 and older will have the opportunity to write essays expressing their gratitude. This activity helps children articulate their feelings and understand the importance of appreciation.
• - Full Course Dinner and Table Manners: After the essay presentation, participants will enjoy a decadent full-course meal. This experience includes practical lessons on table manners, teaching children the etiquette of dining in style.

Special Guests and Instructors

The event will feature notable individuals such as:

• - Kazuko Takahashi (作文指導): An experienced educator with a remarkable career spanning over 30 years, including both elementary and middle school teaching. She is renowned for her passion for nurturing the literary skills of young minds.
• - Ayano Toyota (MC): A well-known TBS announcer with diverse experience in hosting various programs, including news and entertainment. Ayano's engaging presence will keep the event lively and enjoyable.

Why This Event Matters

This event is not just about celebrating Mother's Day; it focuses on transforming experiences into lasting memories for children. Although support for children's meals and education is increasing, opportunities for enriching experiences often remain limited. By emphasizing hands-on learning and interaction, this event is designed to foster curiosity and expand possibilities for children’s futures.

Participants can look forward to:

• - Experiential Learning: Understanding table manners through practical activities promotes confidence in social settings.
• - Articulating Gratitude: Writing essays encourages self-expression and reflection.
• - Public Speaking Experience: Presenting their gratitude essays helps reduce the fear of public speaking and builds confidence.

The Heart Ribbon Association strives to create a world where children can thrive, free from bullying and hardship. By conducting this event, we aim to uphold the value of life, advocate for empathy in society, and work towards a kinder community for our future generations.

A Vision for the Future

As the Heart Ribbon Association emphasizes through its initiatives, including the "Heart Ribbon Movement" and the innovative "Everyone's Cafeteria" for children, the primary focus is on creating smiles and ensuring the well-being of children. Together, we can convey the importance of compassion, eliminate bullying, and build a society rich in understanding and care.

As we prepare for this remarkable occasion, we invite families from single-parent households to join us in sharing love and gratitude, making this Mother's Day one that resonates heartfelt connections and cherished memories for years to come.
