Dream Project
Takuma is in the second year at junior high. His grandfather Isamu has been living with him since losing his wife. Isamu is now 80, and when he leaves the house one day without saying anything, the family are worried about him. When they investigate, they discover that he has gone to the village in the mountains where he used to live. Realizing that Isamu is missing the village and his old house, which now lies empty, Takuma hits upon the idea of renovating the old wooden thatched house and making it into a center where local people can gather. He gains the support of some of his friends at school, and pooling their knowledge, they work together to set up a project to raise the necessary money through a crowdfunding campaign. They go to a crowdfunding company to explain their project, learn about the procedures, and receive advice, and then decide to go ahead with the project.
Takuma and his friends don’t just make the crowdfunding page, they work hard on the project doing things like making flyers to hand out at bus stops in the morning, spreading information via Twitter and Facebook, showing supporters from the city around, going to meet the former mayor who is a local figure of authority, and so forth. They need to get a lot of people to support them in order to meet their target of 1.6 million yen. Will they manage to raise the funds in the end? This entertaining and exciting read also deepens knowledge of the procedures of crowdfunding and how to participate in society. (Sakuma)
