Le Trung, 33，has spent ￡14,000 creating Aiko，who he describes as“in her 20s”with a 32,23,33 figure，shiny hair and delicate features.

She can speak English and Japanese and is so good at mathematics that she can do Mr.Trung's accounts.

Mr.Trung，from Brampton in Ontario，Canada，said he has never had time to find a real partner，so he designed and created his ideal woman using the latest technology.

The former software programmer has taken out credit cards and loans，sold his car and spent his life savings on perfecting his“fem­bot”.

Now he is desperate to find a corporate sponsor(资助者)to help him complete and perfect Aiko.

He said，“Aiko is what happens when science meets beauty.”

 "I want to make her look，feel and act as human as possible so she can be the perfect companion."

    "I talk to her a lot，and hope to improve her knowledge."

"So far she can understand and speak 13,000 different sentences in English and Japanese，so she's already fairly intelligent."

"Aiko recognize faces and says hello when any of my family come around to visit. She helps me pick what to have for dinner and knows what drinks I like."

"She even helps me with directions when we're going somewhere."

"When I need to do my accounts，Aiko does all the maths. She is very patient and never complains."

"She doesn't need holidays，food or rest and she will work almost 24­hours a day. She is the perfect woman."

Mr.Trung has designed Aiko with a touch­sensitive face and body so she reacts in a natural way if she is shown affection or hurt.

 He said，"She has all senses except for smell."

“It was cool，because I got a chance to be in a studio and see how a record is made，”says 14-year-old Javon Martin，who joined the music clubhouse 3 years ago.“It has impacted my life in a big way. People are actually starting to see me as an artist.”Ten-year-old Akheylah Hunter didn’t play an instrument when she became a club member last year. Now，she plays piano and sings with the band. What she likes best，she says，is performing.“We performed in different places，”she says.“We go on trips and it is fun.”
Since the Music Clubhouse opened three years ago，it’s served almost 500 kids.Aggeler says performing in front of different audiences helps the young musicians build self-esteem.Coming to the club to prepare for those performances helps them learn how to deal with their personal problems and concerns.
“I can see what it does for them and it just develops confidence，”he explains.“It’s also an escape from the big problems we have in the neighborhood. So whether they feel embarrassed about a zit on their face，or they feel embarrassed because they’re not as tall as somebody，they can rap about it and let it out a little bit.”
To expand the club and help more kids learn music，Aggeler sought the support of the community. The Berklee College of Music and local music stores have provided free equipment. The club has also gotten support from the Music and Youth Initiative，a nonprofit that develops after school music education programs in underserved communities in Massachusetts. All these have made it possible to provide kids who may not have the means to get private music lessons the opportunity to still learn music and get all the benefits that music education brings.”
