Toys, literary artists will be placed at home to decorate.
However, when most toys fall into the hands of children, they are simply “battered” objects.
They will play with toys, and then even have a five-horse corpse.
Who can think that toys can also have “Second Life”.
Every year, in Japan, only 2% of people who need organ transplants are able to receive their essential transplant organs. This means that there are only about 300 surgical procedures performed each year.
In comparison, the United States performs an average of 68 transplants per day, approximately 25,000 per year.
On the issue of organ donation and transplantation, Japan was originally a country with extremely developed medicine in this field.
The reason why such an embarrassing situation arises is that part of the blasphemy is attributed to religious beliefs, claiming that “by cultivating organs to restore tampering with death, contrary to the laws of nature.” Of course, there is no scientific basis for this view.
The other part is due to restrictive legal issues.
The Japanese organ transplant law only allows organs to be donated to people who have died of brain and have prior written consent, as well as the consent of his family.
In addition, children under the age of 15 cannot get their consent, which means that organ transplants for children are almost impossible.
In Japan, where longevity and shame prevail, there is a shortage of terrible organ donors.
In order to change this situation and raise awareness of child organ donation, the advertising agency, Dentsu, started a project called “Second Life Toys”.
This project is part of the “Green Ribbon” campaign. They support organ transplants in Japan.
“Green Ribbon” founders Todo Kida and Akira Suzuki said: “When a tragedy happens, it is difficult to decide and donate the organs of your family members. In view of this Before we encounter such a situation, we need to create an opportunity to think.”
The two realized that organ donation was a heavy topic and most people would rather not.
So their goal is simple – find a way to make it easier.
Activities give broken plush toys “Second Life” – use other toys to repair the injured parts of their bodies, similar to organ transplants.

The children responded very well to the “reconstructed” toys.
What is more gratifying is that they also wrote a thank-you letter to the donors, grateful and giving a virtuous circle.
Broken toys are not as cute as they are new, and even if they are, they should not be discarded in trash cans.
If you can, donate to the “Second Life Toys” project, and then those toys can be used to restore other toys and a complete new life.
The meaning of organ donation and transplantation is clearly presented in the activity.
