Takako Johnson Class of 1989 is a real estate executive specializing is office leasing. Takako has been a long term advocate of our Club's Young Girl Education Program. In many countries young girls can’t get a decent education. Even more disturbing is that in some countries young girl are sold by their parents into prostitution. The program that Takako chairs is designed to prevent young girls from becoming victims of human trafficking by providing money to the girl’s parents to continue their education.
Currently the Rotary Club of New York is sponsoring twenty girls in Cambodia. Each girl receives $113 per year so they may continue their education. The local Girl Scout manages the fund. Every quarter they distribute the money to the girls parents.
