Community Building in the Forest of the Asian Rural Institute

Forest Community Work

 As part of community work at the Asian Rural Institute, we participated in the “Forest Community Work” activity.
Through this activity, we learned the importance of living in harmony with nature through hands-on experience. Specifically, we helped maintain the forest by thinning trees, clearing fallen logs, and maintaining pathways—supporting the balance between humans and nature. Although the forest work was physically demanding, cooperating with our peers gave us a strong sense of accomplishment and allowed us to feel deeply connected to the rhythms of nature.
After the work, we had a reflection session where everyone shared their thoughts and what they had learned. Then we enjoyed a relaxing time together over homemade cake, creating a warm and comforting moment.
