The joy of earning money = Tell people about earning money by painting “pictures”.

What is peace for you?

Equal life with money

Draw a picture and sell it to the world.

My name is Ayame, and I love to draw.
I believe that peace means that everyone is equal and can live happily.
When people are not equal, discrimination and bullying occur, and it becomes difficult to live happily. One of the reasons for this lack of equality is money.
Without money, people cannot go to school, eat, or buy clothes.
The gap between rich and poor leads to more discrimination and less peace.
In some countries around the world, we hear that small children who have no money often ask tourists to give them money.
It is very sad to hear that some of these children steal things.
So, I thought about what I can do to help them. I thought of a way to do this.
The “joy of earning money” means earning money by drawing pictures.
Drawings are universal. Everyone from small children to adults and the elderly can freely draw pictures as long as they have a pen and paper. Above all, there is no right answer to painting. That is why anyone can enjoy drawing.

The “painting” is sold at the online store on the Internet and at “NFT”.
NFT” digitizes analog ‘drawings’ and prevents them from being copied or tampered with, making it possible to add value to the artwork.
It allows people all over the world to purchase “art” created by people all over the world.
I believe that by doing so, people will be able to experience that their actions will result in money, and they will be able to live a joyful and equal life.
I believe that this will lead to dreams for the future by allowing people to experience the “joy” of painting and “learning” how to earn money, and will also lead to “quality education” and “elimination of poverty” as mentioned in the SDGs.
The money earned from the sales will go to the person who drew the picture, but we will also consider donating some of the money to children who are not able to go to school or to poor people who cannot afford pens and paper.
Ultimately, the goal is to use those monies to build facilities and schools to nurture creators, and to gather poor children to study with them.
But this can only be done by going abroad.

There are many things we can do now, such as volunteering in school committees, fundraising, and studying the languages of various countries in order to go abroad.

I sincerely hope that this will help to eliminate poverty and discrimination, to create an equal life, and to make the world a more peaceful place.

Thank you very much for your kind attention!
