First week of Work Camp Volunteer Fall 2014

Hi Everyone,

This is Ayu, one of the volunteers who work with Sansonjuku in Kurogi-machi. My Japanese is not very good, so I will only write in English.

Today is our sixth day attending the Work Camp Volunteer and this whole week have been fun. Our first day was on September 1st, 2014 and we started our camp at the Hainuzuka station meeting our fellow volunteers. This batch of work camp consists of volunteers from different background and nationalities, which include: a full-time farmer from Myanmar, students from Taiwan, Spain, Vietnam, and China, and an office worker who is taking some time off.

For the first few days, we have been learning and getting used to the work in the field. Today, some of us worked to remove weeds in the paddy field and some mowed the grass. Then in the afternoon, we went to the bamboo forest to cut down the old bamboos and clean up the forest. At the beginning, the work was really hard on some of us who are not used to work in a farm, but we managed to finish while having fun at it. We have learned how hard it is to be a farmer and that we need to appreciate those who work to provide food for us.
