“About ten years ago, I had the privilege of connecting with ARI and have been involved as a commuting volunteer ever since. From a volunteer’s perspective, I have actively proposed and brought to life various initiatives over the years. These include crafting original ramen using ingredients grown at ARI, demonstrating the martial art of Hokushin Itto-ryu, planting cherry blossoms in areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and assisting with local beekeeping.
I truly believe that these experiences will leave a lasting impression on Participants’ hearts, travel back with them to their home countries, and contribute to a brighter future. I would be deeply grateful for your warm support.”
For many years, Mr. Takafumi Miyake (Photo: Center, in an orange T-shirt) has served as a commuting volunteer at ARI, providing participants with a wide range of unique hands-on opportunities.
For our Westen Japan Study Tour Fundraising Campaign, he is supporting us as a Support Funding Partner by launching a sub-campaign to help spread the word.
This coming Saturday, he will also be participating as a honey vendor at the Ohinata Marche, which is being held jointly with ARI Friends Day. Please be sure to stop by his booth!
