 【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。

坂崎あゆみのレポート(真理子とあゆみの対談編) http://social.sfc.keio.ac.jp/2008220.htmlも、合わせてご笑覧くださいますとさいわいです。

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)

If Moyes does get £25 million, he could always cheekily issue a parting shot that it is not bad business for selling a squad player.

</a> As far as other features, both the Kindle Fire HDX and iPad 4 offer similar storage options (up to 64GB with no external expansion, though each has a cloud storage and media store ecosystem and for an exorbitant amount of money, you can get a special 128GB iPad), as well as LTE and WiFi-Only versions of their tablets. Amazon dropped the HDMI port out of the HDX from the previous Kindle Fire HD, and that may be a disappointment to some.
<a href=" http://www.actorsintensive.com/propecia-causes-erectile-dysfunction.pdf ">can you stop propecia cold turkey</a> Just wanted to state a quick observation. Oscar De La Hoya had given the blueprint to Canelo in beating Shane Money just like he gave it to Bernard Hopkins against Trinidad. It's pretty easy. All he has to do is give Mayweather those quick stiff jabs to his midsection and top and he got him beat. Miguel Cotto was catching Money with jabs, but was slow and opted on that Jose Luis Castillo pressure, which made Cotto gas out. Although Canelo can't really match De La Hoya's jab, still it's enough to keep fighters honest. I'm starting to believe more and more that Canelo may end up knocking Mayweather out, but who knows?

Could you ask her to call me? <a href=" http://larryandersonconstruction.com/robaxin-methocarbamol-for-dogs.pdf ">buy robaxin 750 mg</a> “The fact that the alleged actions of those involved in the tragic events at Penn State were criminal, and that no violations of NCAA rules had been identified, would not dissuade Dr. (Mark) Emmert from seizing upon the international publicity that the Penn State matter had instantly attracted to make a show of unprecedented and aggressive discipline that he, with the input of a handful of university presidents and chancellors, would determine and impose,” read the complaint. “Once and for all, the NCAA would shed the reputation of being soft on discipline, even if doing so meant ignoring the existing NCAA rules and processes that its member institutions justifiably expected and to which they were entitled.”

It could honestly use some help, especially in light of some strained financials. Company representatives said during BlackBerrysanitized_by_modx& #8217s most recent (and none too confidence-inspiring) earnings call that roughly 40% of its device shipments over the past quarter were its new BB10 phones, which works out to 2.72 million units moved. Thatsanitized_by_modx& #8217s more than double what the company shipped in the previous quarter, but the folks in Waterloo apparently didnsanitized_by_modx& #8217t think enough of the number to break it out in an earnings release. The same goes for BlackBerrysanitized_by_modx& #8217s subscriber base, which dipped by some 4 million users between Q4 2013 and Q1 2014 (before you assault me in the comments, BBsanitized_by_modx& #8217s fiscal calendar is a little weird like that) with nary a mention in the initial release.

</a> An aerial view shows the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and its storage tanks for contaminated water (bottom) August 20. Leakage from a temporary storage tank has raised new concerns about the ongoing problems at the plant.

The sequestration will negatively impact research, innovation and the ability to provide services and resources to patients and the university community. Equally disturbing, it will decrease opportunities for scientific advancement and job creation at the university and other research institutions nationally.
<a href=" http://audion-mm.com/rogaine-hair-loss-reviews.pdf#valid ">can you use rogaine for thinning hair</a> Paul Bowen QC, representing Mrs Nicklinson and Mr Lamb in their cases against the Ministry of Justice, told the appeal judges that the High Court had "rejected the claims because, in summary , it considered Parliament, not the courts, should be responsible for changing the law in this area".

<a href=" http://www.actorsintensive.com/indikasi-obat-arcoxia-60-mg.pdf#threaten ">para que sirve arcoxia de 120 mg</a> One worldly interpretation of Francis’s remarks on the plane is that he is trying to diminish the impact of any further revelations in the Vatileaks affair. A more dramatic version is that, as he seems to have already hinted, he is preparing to strike against a homosexual network in the Vatican and wants his motives to be clear: that it is not the sexual orientation, or even behaviour, of its members that he condemns, but the formation of interest groups in an organisation that is meant to have only one interest, and one earthly boss.
<a href=" http://grosiranbandung.com/harga-allopurinol-100mg.pdf ">allopurinol 100mg kaufen</a> Actually, I’m being a little unkind there: they are not declaring in that chapter that their goal is that all phones should be used to access Facebook: rather, they’re detailing the work they’ve done in their program called that. How they’ve minimised the code, the demand on the hardware, so that lower end phones are still able to offer the Facebook experience.
