Happy New Year!
This year is the 10th Anniversary of Merry Project.
Merry will depart for the world!

At the end of last year in a special TV program, movie director Mr. Zhang Yimou said,
" I wanted to end the Beijing olympics openig ceremony with children's smiles all over the world.
While I was looking for smiles from the the world through websites, I met a wonderful japanese artist, who have been taking children's smiles in the world for many years."
and my name Koji Mizutani was appeared.



Today I got a merry e-mail from Liz in N.Y.C.
She was a main visual of MERRY in New York and talked about her MERRY, when we connected Tokyo and New York.
For years she has been doing a lot of merry works;
as an actress in a Hollywood movies, a movie director of a documentary film for people hurted at Hurycane, drawer and so on...
She's going to Brazil to take movies soon.



I want to communicate more with Merry member in the world, Rumira in Russia, Mohamed in Egypt, Ali in Berlin
We want to hear merry news and take merry smiles pictures abroad again.

In December 2008, I visited Taiwan ; as 24th countries,
this year we plan to visit till 50th countries with JICA and NISSEKI.

Now wait till the next MERRY COLUMN!
