持続可能な地域をつくることを目標に、農業だけでなく、学びの場や体験の場づくりにも取り組んでいます。現在、空き家をみんなの集まる場にすべくリノベ中のため、そのお手伝いもお願いすることになると思います。
私たちは、これまで世界中を旅したり、国際協力関係の仕事をしたり、東日本大震災の際には現地で3年にわたって支援活動をしていました。現在、取り組んでいることもそれらの延長線上にあります。日本の田舎を持続可能な地域にしていくための日々の実践を一緒にしてくれるウーファーが来てくれることを楽しみにしています。

With our vision of creating a sustainable community, we are working on not only farming, but also making of a space for learning and experience. We think that we will ask to help renovating a old Japanese house in order to create community space for this local area.
We used to travel around the world and be involved in the international collaboration-related works. After the Great East Japan Earthquake, we worked at the relief agencies for three years to help the people who are affected by the disaster. Our vision and activities are all connected to these past experiences. We are looking forward to meeting WWOOfers who can join us to make rural areas in Japan more sustainable together.
