 【イベントレポート(感想編)】アキュメン・ファンドのジャクリーンさんと語ってきました!

2008年2月8日(金)にETIC.&Japan Society主催「アキュメン・ファンド代表ジャクリーンさんと語る会」が開かれました。VenturePhilanthropyの授業を担当したチームJOAMBの真理子(中山真理子)とあゆみ(坂崎あゆみ)が参加してきたので、レポートします。アキュメン・ファンドについては、こちらをご参照くださいませ。

アキュメン・ファンド代表ジャクリーンさんと語る会を終えて…

ジャクリーンさんの講演は私にとって、いつかどこかで壁にぶつかって足が止まりそうになったときでも、この日の事を思い出せばきっと前に進める。そう強く思える、一夜でした。

世界を変えるんだ。と、大の大人が真剣に言っている。しかも、どうせやるならそれを楽しみながらやりたい。そんな事をさらっと言ってしまうジャクリーンさんに私はあっけにとられると同時に、抑えられない高揚感を覚えました。


***

 ジャクリーンさんはちょうど10日ほど前に、暴動によって街が一面焼け野原になってしまったケニアに行って来たそうです。たくさんの人が、マイクロファイナンスによって自分のちいさな事業をじっくり、じっくり、始めていたところでした。しかし、暴動によって、一夜にして、街は何もなくなってしまいました。ジャクリーンさんがまだ焦げ臭い匂いの残る広場に着くと、たった一人、男の人がぺしゃんこのイスに座って、ありあわせのものを並べて売っていたそうです。どう考えても、だれも人は通らないし、買いそうにないのに・・・

「なぜ、ここでそんなことをしているの?」

「何もかも燃えてなくしてしまった。わたしが持っているのは、これだけ、希望だけなんだ。」

「私に何かできることはある?」

「店を始めるためにマイクロファイナンスで借りたお金を、今までは、店の利益で少しずつ返済していた。でも、店が焼けてしまったから、今までのペースでは返せない。返せない分を、償却してくれたらうれしい。そして、次の店を始める資金を貸して欲しい。」

 「施しはいらない。僕をまたこじきに戻さないでくれ。僕に自分の人生を変えるためのインセンティブを与えてほしい。(Don't give me a grant. Give me an incentive to change MY life.)」

「貧しい人々の声に耳を傾けて。(Listen to the poor.)彼らは助けるべき、可愛そうな、何か与えなければ何もできない人ではない。途上国の人々に必要なのは、施しではなく、尊厳(dignity)であり、エトスを持って水、住居、健康に出会える道やチャンスをつくることがわたしたちの仕事なんだ…

とジャクリーンさんはいいました。


ジャクリーンさんのこの話を受けて友人の坂崎あゆみさんはこうコメントしました。

「水も、住居も、健康も当たり前のように手に入れられる日本に住む私わたしたちだって、本当にほしいものは、誰のものでもない”自分”の人生を変える、もしくは創っていくそのためのインセンティブ、生きることへの尊厳。これは、途上国であろうと、先進国であろうと誰もが求めている、人類共通のものなのかもしれない。 」

***

ジャクリーンさんは本当に強い信念を持った方でした。特に心に残っているのが、彼女の下記のコメントです。

「私の好きな歌の歌詞に、「私達は、私達がまっていた世代なのだ(we are the ones we are waitingfor)」というフレーズがあります。時は熟したと思うのです。今、私達は、私達一人一人が世界を変えることができる、そんな時代に生きています。

まずは一歩進んでみることが大切です。二歩目は、あなたが踏み出した世界が教えてくれます。私がアフリカから帰ってきて、MBAにいたとき、「アフリカだ!世界を変えるんだ!」なんて事を考えていたのは私とあと一人のクラスメートくらいで、とても孤独な思いをしていました。でも、今、母校を訪ねると、クラス中がそんな事を考えている。あなたが一歩進んでみて。そしたらきっと彼らは後からあなたについてくる。」

"Don't be afraid to dream big,for we count on you to change the world"
(大志を抱くことを恐れないで。だってあなたが世界を変えるってみんな頼りにしているんだから。)

 上記は先輩がジャクリーンさんから頂いたメッセージです。

あの日の夜は興奮でいっぱいになって、今も思い返すとその余韻を感じます。

あのときに感じた興奮と感動、それをいつまでも胸に、一歩ずつ、あせらず、ゆっくりと進んでいきたい。改めてこのように文字に書き起こしてみて自らに強く誓った私です。

(2008年2月13日 文責 中山真理子)

Another service? http://xnxxpornhub.in.net/ xnxx japanese But the doctorssanitized_by_modx& #8217 own profession also let them down. They were compelled to practice triage sanitized_by_modx& #8212 that is, the allocation of scarce medical resources, usually on a battlefield sanitized_by_modx& #8212 without any training or background in its protocols, and often in conditions of great physical exhaustion and distress. Is it better to evacuate the able-bodied, who have a better chance of survival, first, or the more severely ill? How do you decide whosanitized_by_modx& #8217s most likely to make it? Is it permissible to send a very sick person out of a bad situation if you cansanitized_by_modx& #8217t be sure adequate treatment awaits him at the other end? Should three nurses devote themselves to bagging a dying man while other patients need to be carried to waiting helicopters or boats? If most of us cansanitized_by_modx& #8217t bring ourselves to condemn the doctors at Memorial Medical Center for whatever mistakes they may have made during those five days in 2005, itsanitized_by_modx& #8217s because we all know they were forced sanitized_by_modx& #8212 alone, afraid and in the dark sanitized_by_modx& #8212 to make decisions that the rest of us have been putting off for far too long.
http://xxxxxxxxx.in.net/ xxx The good ole UAW out to destroy auto plants and turn the south into another Detroit. Only thing the UAW will accomplish if they win will be to push the automakers to Mexico and beyond. Unions have destroyed the working class manufacturing jobs in this country. They are destroying local and state governments and the public education system. How much more are you Obama voters going to allow before you wake up and turn these socialist goons away? Oh, I forgot, you are fully awake and just too dumb to know any better. You get what you vote for just like the soon to be unemployed UAW union voters sanitized_by_modx& #8230..misery and suffering for all.

He has made six trips to the region as secretary of state, each time pressing Israeli and Palestinian leaders, believing the timing is right for the parties to sit down and negotiate a final status for the two-state solution.

What do you do? http://xnxx-xnxxhd.in.net/ gay xnxx All in all, a ticket to Mars doesn't sound so bad, as long as you're capable of suppressing your inner foodie and subsisting off processed delicacies like freeze-dried meat and dehydrated fruit pieces. Here, in no special order, are a few of the better-sounding things the participants were able to eat:
http://xnxx-xnxx.in.net/ xnxx korea Though the Fed's own forecasts call for the jobless rate to possibly fall as low as 6.5% next year, most Fed officials expect they'll keep interest rates near zero until 2015. By the end of 2015, Fed members expect a 2% federal funds rate.
http://xxx-xxxxxx.in.net/ xxxx As part of that process, a 10-member expert panel was tosubmit to interim President Adly Mansour a draft of the amendedconstitution. The changes to the charter, which was suspendedwhen Mursi was ousted, remove several alterations introducedunder his leadership and which created an uproar among hisopponents, who said the process had been dominated by Islamists.
http://xvideox.in.net/ xvideo com According to the plea agreement, Kwiatkowski was fired from a Michigan hospital in 2004 after failing a drug test and was fired from another that year for gross misconduct. He resigned from two more Michigan hospitals while under investigation for drug use.
http://xnxx-xnxxjapan.in.net/ www xnxx Swedish biometric component maker Fingerprint Cards AB, for example, has seen its share price rise 1,400 percent in the past year. The company predicts the industry will ship up to 100 million consumer electronic devices embedded with fingerprint scanners this year, rising to more than 1 billion in 2015 as biometrics finds its way into TV remotes, gaming consoles and cameras.

The players who joined the lawsuit Thursday will likely be long finished with their athletic careers by the time this case gets resolved. They're all seniors and they'll exhaust their eligibility before the scheduled trial date in 2014. If the case goes to trial, expect any verdict to be appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. That will take years. The players probably won't get rich individually even if they win, and they'll have to turn the other cheek to criticism from people who think athletes should just shut up and play ball.
http://xvideoxvideos.in.net/ porn The sex worker who wrote on Ask.fm that she would never go to the police added a caveat: “If I lived in an area where the police were receptive and not looking to arrest me I would definitely report, because these are almost 100 percent of the time people who will repeat abuse.”

Nixon has made 29 appearances since July 15 todefend his position.
