Becoming a Small Light in the Village
Elizabeth (2025, Myanmar)
Myanmar is in the midst of hardship, and lives of young people and friends are being lost. With the idea "Everything we need is around us" learned at ARI, I want to spread organic farming and encourage people to achieve something with their own power, not just relying on outside support.
Without your support, I could not have gained such learning. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
