About Share Your Hearts.
When Juri returned to Tokyo, she felt a responsibility to bring awareness and share her experience. She told her friends about her experience and it blossomed into a photo exhibition/fundraiser for the children of India.
The exhibition was held in June 2009 for 10 days. The people were asked to bring school supplies as an entry fee. She also sold pencils to donate, as well as hand printed T-shirts and stickers. The proceeds from all of the sales went towards the fundraiser. Over 600 people came and we raised over 13,000 dollars and 7 boxes full of school supplies.

In 2010, Juri and her friends traveled to India to bring the school supplies and donations to various NGOs and the village that Juri stayed at during her study abroad. They distributed 500 notebooks and over 16,500 pencils.
