Due to the unexpected circumstances which have arisen around the Novel Coronavirus, it was decided to temporarily stop receiving visitors until February 7th.
Working visitors are individuals who volunteer at Asian Rural Institute for one day to 60 days and take an active part in the community. Working visitors are assigned to a working section, just like volunteers and help with Foodlife work twice a day. Individuals or groups that come as working visitors sometimes stay in the dormitories if there is room, or may stay in the nearby Seminar House.
This is a great opportunity for those who are interested in learning more about their world, their food and their personal identity. Working visitors often get a chance to learn something new and feel more connected to their fellow human beings. Participants also gain a wonderful chance to exchange fellowship and make new friends while working together.
