As of September 30, our donation campaign, "Living Kindly with Neighbors," has officially come to an end. We sincerely thank you for following our activities and supporting us over the past two months.
Through this initiative, we received the following support:
Crowdfunding: 247 supporters / ¥3,278,042
Postal Transfer (via flyer forms) & Direct Cash: 66 supporters / ¥824,766
Event Donation Boxes: ¥203,422
ARI Participant Project Product Sales: ¥37,400
Total: ¥4,343,630
Thanks to your help, we successfully reached our target of ¥2.2 million required for the Western Japan Study Tour, ensuring we can conduct the program again this year. Furthermore, we received an additional ¥2.14 million, which will provide vital financial support so our participants can safely focus on their learning through their graduation in December.
While the campaign has concluded, the learning journey for our rural community leaders is just beginning. The Western Japan Study Tour will begin on November 10. We look forward to sharing updates with you at a later date on who they meet, what they experience, and what takeaways they bring back.
ARI will remain committed to nurturing leaders who strive to "live kindly with neighbors." We would be grateful if you could continue to watch over us on this journey.
Thank you so much for your support over these past two months.
