Shedding Light on the Agents of Hope

In February 2014, Aska and Tomo Hamakawa separately received a humbling and inspiring award called the Unsung Heroes of Compassion from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The award selects 50 individuals from around the world every four years to recognize their tireless, compassionate efforts to make this world a better place.

Not convinced that their contributions deserved anything close to such an award, Aska and Tomo even declined the award at first. But, an exciting prospect emerged and eventually changed their minds. That was Bella Galhos. “If we could bring Bella as a guest to the award ceremony, then that itself would give meaning to the award,” they thought …

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors.
We borrow it from our children.”

Earth Company aims to create a world that can be passed on to future generations.

In search of prosperity and growth, humanity has inadvertently created many issues that are now threatening our own lives. The reality is: we are the last generation that can save our future before it’s too late.

The world needs more changemakers who can not only solve these issues but build a regenerative future that does not create them in the first place. 

Earth Company selects one Impact Hero a year – a one-of-a-kind changemaker that has the potential to transform the future of developing countries in the Asia-Pacific.
