At the Asian Rural Institute (ARI), winter is in full swing, and the weather has been bringing its own quiet charm to the campus. The crisp air and changing scenery remind us of the beauty of nature in this season. Whether it’s the frost on the fields or the stillness of the mornings, there’s something peaceful about this time of year.

As we enjoy these winter days, we’re also looking forward to April, when a new group of participants will join the ARI community. Their arrival is always an exciting time, bringing fresh energy and new perspectives to our shared work and learning.

For now, we’re making the most of the season’s simple joys while preparing for the months ahead. From all of us at ARI, we hope you’re enjoying this season as much as we are!
