Shin Fujiyama continues with the challenge of traveling 3,000 kilometers . After arriving in Guatemala on Thursday, he had a terrible time in Santa Lucía de Milpas Altas, Sacatepéquez.
Shin Fujiyama, the Japanese-American YouTuber, is the founder of the Thousand Schools project , created in 2007, with which he plans to build a thousand schools in Honduras. He started with the challenge called ” 3,000 kilometers ” so that his sponsors would contribute the necessary money for the construction of 10 schools in different sectors of the country.
Born on September 16, 1984 in Japan, Shin spent part of his life in the United States. During his college years, he went on a volunteer trip and came to Honduras for the first time, being surprised by the living conditions in many Honduran communities, especially in Villa Soleada, in El Progreso, Yoro.
From there, Fujiyama has tirelessly dedicated himself to addressing the most pressing needs of these communities. Beginning with the construction of homes for families in need, he soon realized that education was key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Thus, his project was born: the construction of bilingual schools in Honduras, where he offers free, quality education to children from disadvantaged communities.
What happened when you arrived in Guatemala?
Shin Fujiyama and the terrible moment he experienced in Guatemala : what happened to him? Fujiyama is currently in El Salvador, after having passed through Guatemala, where he completed the 3,000-kilometer challenge , which began on the border between Mexico and the United States and will end in Honduras.
The selfless man covered a distance of around 44 kilometres during his 89th day of the journey. When he reached the final part of the journey in Santa Lucía Milpas Altas, he had health problems. According to Shin Fujiyama’s team, he suffered a drop in oxygenation and his blood glucose levels were very low.
He was treated by firefighters and paramedics, much to the concern of those present, who saw the great effort of the YouTuber, who seeks, through this 3,000-kilometer challenge, the construction of schools in Honduras.
Following the incident, Shin made a statement on social media: “Thanks to the Guatemalan firefighters and paramedics, I am already at the hotel recovering from the 44km marathon ,” he said.
Given this situation, he had to rest for two days and took up the challenge again last Sunday, October 13. The journey began from the Megapaca in Santa Lucía Milpas Altas towards Guatemala City.
