I only stayed one week with Vu but it was such an unforgettable time!

I love that I got to help out with the classes and expereince for myself how enrichment classes for young children are conducted in Korea. I enjoyed the thoughtful conversations that I had with Vu about life in Korea, motherhood, running her own buisness and so much more. Vu … read more

Emily stayed with us for one week, and she blended in very quickly. She has a great “I can do it” attitude, always willing to help and try her best.

She is honest, independent, and enjoys sharing her ideas. During her stay, she also made an effort to teach my son some Chinese and crochet (as I requested :)) Of course, he didn’t take everything … read more

During the week that we were here, we joined for two briding trips and acted as "clients" (ie ourselves) and asked many questions for the students to practice their guiding skills. We learnt so much about birds and other animals in their own natural environments. The students were really friendly, knowledgable and helpful. It was inspiring to view … read more

Thank you so much for staying with us for nine days. We really enjoyed working, learning, and playing together with you. Even though you came from a very different culture and this countryside lifestyle was full of new experiences, you stepped into everything with openness and kindness.

Some of the farm work was not easy, but you always put in … read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the nine days that I spent with Michiko and her family. Michiko, Jensen and Sarasa (their six year old daughter) were so helpful, knowledgeable and energetic. We (2 other volunteers and I) were initially accepted during this period to help out with a kids camp but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the typhoon. Still, … read more Michiko planned many different activities for us. Each day was filled with unique experiences from farming to packing goods to interacting with the children.

In the first few days, we helped out with some upkeep of the farm area. We helped to start a small garden vegetable patch by weeding and sowing the seeds. After that, we also helped with digging the water channels for a small plot of rice paddy field. This work was tougher but it was manageable with the other volunteers. Michiko also did not rush us to finish the work and reminded us to take plenty of breaks.

These two areas are only but a small part of Michiko and Jensen’s farm and work. Michiko and Jensen have a wealth of knowledge on how we can grow our foods sustainably and are collaborating with different partners towards their dream of keeping the natural resources in the area clean so future generations will still be able to enjoy these resources. It’s inspiring to hear about their journey and also see first hand the hard work that they have put in towards this goal.

Apart from planting rice, the family also makes a lot of other products from the raw ingredients. Michiko is a fermentation master who is able to make so many delicious products (wine vinegar etc) from the rice that they grow or other fruits and vegetables that are found in the area.

Aside from farming, I also learnt a lot about the donguri inspired education and even got to help out in a short workshop. I enjoyed the thoughtful conversions on early childhood education and it has been eye opening to learn about an education approach that really puts the child first and emphasises on building the child’s creative and problem solving capacities.

We also had the chance to enjoy the nature of the local area as well as the ambience of the small towns in the area. On some afternoons, after the morning work at the farm, we had a chance to relax in the cooling waters of the nearby waterfalls. On some days, when Michiko had to run errands in town, we could also tag along with them to visit the morning and night markets.

Thank you to Michiko and her family for having me! The things I’ve learned in these short nine days have been deeply enriching, and I’m sure they will continue to shape me for years to come. I wish you and your family nothing but the very best as you continue to grow your vision. I hope to return one day and continue supporting you on your journey.
