This is what the social network site LIVLY looks like. My pet is the black hog-like animal. Seems like those young kids communicate via these so-called cyber pets, and these pets deviler emails to other pets. So it seems like I need to write my message and hand it to my pet hog, and the hog will send my message to my sister's friends, and hopefully her friends would send my message along to other kids in school who use this site. Seems easy, but the hard part is that this pet thing will die if you dont feed and play with it (oh bother). My personal goal for now is to try not to kill my little messenger.
My first chainmail will have a short message, and a funny illustration / comic strip attatched to it so that the message will be entertaining and hopefully more children will decide to pass it along. It may look something like this:
Message: 最近日が落ちるのも早くなり、すっかり秋ですね！下校時間が遅くなるときは友達と帰るか、人通りの多い明るい道を通って帰ろう！変質者には注意してね！
Comic: どうしても一人で帰らなきゃいけない時は・・・迫力のある顔をすれば大丈夫かも！？
If I have time, I might be able to make this into a series with different illustration sent periodically, to remind the children during this term.

Takako,
This is a very exciting Issue Entrepreneurship on a number of levels. You have a strong and important message, that you clearly passionate about. You are also attempting to connect with children in an environment familiar to them and deliver your message in their language, especially through your use of the hog messenger and other visuals.
A couple of questions--
How can you develop your profile outside the hog character, to present yourself personally, so that children can get to know you as well as your messenger?
Also, how might you connect with parents? And, what can parents do to help you spread the message?
Your message will resonate with children more, if parents can also connect with you, and add their voice to yours.
Your work is very exciting.
The picture you drew is very good! I think that visual images are very easy to see and accepted by people especially children. Also, I think that your sisters and your mother it is most appropriate people to begin spreading your message because they are closely connected to the school and local community.
