Noriko Hino's New York de Volunteer Promotes Volunteerism Among
Japanese-Americans
December 30, 2005
A group of women getting ready for their close-up are part of "Beauty
Volunteering," a program launched by the non-profit organization New
York de Volunteer.
Executive Director Noriko Hino founded the organization in May 2002 to
promote volunteerism among the Japanese-American community here.
“The mission of New York de Volunteer is to inspire and mobilize the
local Japanese people and its extended network to improve the greater
New York metropolitan community," she says.
Noriko and other volunteers organized a day of beauty along with a photo
shoot for the patients and residents of Jewish Home and Hospital
Lifecare System in Manhattan. Two rooms were transformed into a salon
where residents and patients got their hair, makeup and nails done while
enjoying a massage. And in the end, they had their pictures taken.
"Many of the women who are in hospitals or nursing homes may not have
the access as the other women might have, and then it's great to support
that community that may not have the access,” says volunteer Midori
Mashiko. “And we can bridge that out and we can do that."
This is just one of the many volunteer opportunities New York de
Volunteer has to offer. Others include environmental protection, animal
care, education work, and much more.
“Since English is not our first language, I felt like our opportunity is
limited,” says volunteer Emiko Mizumura. “I had thought there was a
barrier that is something that we cannot overcome to feel part of New
York society, but through this organization I experience so many great
things, and also I had the chance to meet so many Japanese people who
live in New York."
Residents and patients here say they enjoyed their day of pampering.
“This is really surprising,” says patient Olga Carlone. “This is very,
very nice."
“They can come over once a week, and they should also bring handsome
men,” adds Nina Sedita.
Well, you never know. But we do know that this is a day to remember for
many. So strike a pose, Noriko Hino, because you are our New Yorker of
the Week.
