    Collecting and donating stationaries Collecting and donating stationaries

    Fields is collecting 658 stationaries that are no longer being used at March 24, 2016, and is working through NGO Jiyu-Jin Foundation to do charitable work with children in Vietnam and Cambodia.

    One of Jiyu-Jin Foundation's principles behind its activities states, “We provide 'continuous support' rather than 'temporary assistance.' We mainly help to lead to fundamental changes in the future, such as improving literacy rates and academic progress, through long-term educational support.”

    Fields is committed to continuing these activities out of a desire to play a part in helping educate local children, and in the belief that eliminating the inequalities in education stemming from poverty will provide children with a ray of hope for a brighter future.
