On December 24, the online news site Catholic Japan News published an article titled “A Community that Cultivates the Soil and Shares the Table: Asian Rural Institute – Training Servant Leaders for Rural Communities.”
The piece warmly and carefully portrays the daily life of participants nearing graduation, their classes, and the final presentations at ARI, accompanied by photographs. It is written in a way that is accessible even to readers learning about ARI for the first time.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the journalist who created such a wonderful article.

The series we’ve been sharing every day on Facebook and Instagram Stories—featuring our graduates’ brightest smiles and the “gift of hope” they wish to bring back to their communities—comes to an end today.
We’ve also started releasing a reel that includes all of their messages, so please take a look at that as well.
