"Hi! I love your pieces. I received one of your pieces for Christmas and am in love…" -Erin T.
"My mom LOVED her Nozomi necklace. I ordered it for my dad to give to her. He was so happy she got something she loved and believe me, she will tell everyone she see about your work!" -Anne P., Leesburg, VA
[To the Nozomi Staff]… "We are in California, USA and bought a beautiful piece of jewelry that you made. Thank you for making something beautiful from such devastation. We know there is much healing in Japan. We came there in October 2011 to help in relief work and now have a special place in our hearts for Japan and its people. We are praying for you, that God will fill you with new hope…" -S & D
"This is an amazingly touching gift to me and to the people it supports. I couldn't think of a more beautiful and thoughtful present to receive. Not only are fish my most favourite animal, and pottery and handmade items something I greatly admire and appreciate, the fact that this little piece of jewelry is helping women get their lives back so they are able to support themselves just blows my mind. The stories and history all wrapped up in that little ceramic piece is incredible. I can't wait to share the story with the people close to me and help bring awareness to what they've accomplished! "
のぞみのネックレスをシークレットサンタ(送り主の名前は伏せた贈り物)からのプレゼントとして受け取られた方がコメントをくださいました。このプレゼントは私と支援する方々にとって、とても心を動かすものでした。これ以上美しくて思いやりのあるプレゼントはありません。お魚がわたしの大好きな動物であることも、陶器を使っていて手作りである点もとてもとても素晴らしいのですが、この小さなジュエリーが、女性たちが自立した生活を取り戻すために実際に役に立っていることにすごく感動しました。小さなセラミックのジュエリーにつまっているそれぞれの実話や歴史に本当に心を動かされます。わたしの身近な人たちにすぐにでもこのことを伝えたいと思います。そしてみなさんの素晴らしいプロジェクトを知ってもらえいたいと思います。 私のシークレットサンタに感謝です!素晴らしい贈り物でした。
" Beautiful necklaces made from the heart as a gift to the world…" -Mark M.
"I just wanted to tell you how thrilled everyone was with the necklaces I gave as gifts. My girls are thrilled and I have had multiple compliments for the one I kept for myself. Thank you for all the group's hard work to get them ready for Christmas gift giving. When I wear my necklace, it is a reminder to me of what God has done in my life; He took my shard of glass and has been polishing it for many years. Every day I get a little brighter (pun intended!). One day I will be a jewel! Thank you again!" ~ Cathi J., Moorestown, NJ
