Hello World! This is My First Article! I would like to expand on this article to show the world how good Joomla is!
The existence of websites that don’t comply with responsive web design standards, and so don’t display correctly on mobile phones and tablets, is leading to lost opportunities for organisations and delays in the development of the Information Society. iWith.org and Google are aiming to address this situation with a set of concrete proposals.
In 2001, the Ab·core integrated internet services platform, designed by iWith.org exclusively for non-profit organisations, began to be developed. In 2005, Ab·core came to be considered as a benchmark in the industry, providing highly advanced solutions, with unique features and delivery.
We are only a few months into the New Year and the Internet is already (as per usual) filling up with articles and publications which indicate what the predominant trends in website design will be for 2015.
The entire Arigatou family is mourning the loss of Rev. Takeyasu Miyamoto, Founder of Arigatou International and Leader of Myochikai, who passed away on Thursday, March 26, 2015, at 3:50 am in Tokyo at the age of 97. He will be deeply and dearly missed.
A memorial ceremony for the family will take place on April 2, and a public event honoring his life and contributions is scheduled for May 14 in Tokyo.
Rev. Miyamoto was a true pioneer of compassion and a rare spiritual leader who had the gift of inspiring people to go beyond all the usual limits in order to care for others, especially children. From a small Japanese Buddhist movement launched in 1950, his seminal ideas have grown to have a worldwide impact.
After studying with Myochikai’s founder, Rev. Mitsu Miyamoto, from 1945 until her passing in 1984, Rev. Takeyasu Miyamoto became Leader of Myochikai, after completing 1000 days of ascetic disciplines to prepare for the task of succeeding her. As Leader of Myochikai, he emphasized the duty and potential of every person to practice “perseverance for the sake of good” and make a contribution to world peace, based on the teachings of Rev. Mitsu Miyamoto. He frequently taught on the themes of gratitude, change of heart, and honoring all those who came before us.
In 1990, Rev. Miyamoto established the Arigatou Foundation (now Arigatou International) “in response to the terrible suffering of so many children around the world” and gave it the mission of creating a better environment for children everywhere. Then, in the year 2000, he inaugurated the Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC), bringing together diverse people of faith from around the world to commit themselves to “making a contribution from the religious perspective to the promotion of child rights in the 21st century.”
At the United Nations Special Session on Children in 2002, Rev. Miyamoto was selected to address the General Assembly on behalf of people of faith around the world, and he pledged to bring diverse religious communities together to do more for ethics education, child rights, and ending child poverty.
Under Rev. Miyamoto’s leadership in the ensuing decade, from those three pledges emerged three other global interfaith initiatives supported by Arigatou International: Ethics Education for Children, Prayer and Action for Children, and End Child Poverty.
While mourning this great loss, the Arigatou family is determined more than ever to continue the great work started by Rev. Miyamoto until every child on earth gets to grow up safe and sound, and ultimately, the whole human family lives in world peace.
Rev. Takeyasu Miyamoto is survived by two daughters, and one son, Rev. Keishi Miyamoto, who is President of Arigatou International.
