Bird's Visit in NICE, Japan!
One's routine is another's breakthrough!
Bird
I believe workcamp is a “life lesson” for everyone as we can know more about the nature of our life through first-hand experience so that we and also our community can work effectively as well as happily!
After my first workcamp in Mongolia, my friends and I established the first workcamp organization in Hong Kong. I had been working as a biology teacher in high school for 6 years and I think this is the time to take a bigger adventure in my life; therefore, I decided to quit my job and explore the new possibility for myself as well as my organization.
Thanks to Kai-san and every members in NICE that I've met, I did learn a lots from all of you. Two months passed very soon but the memories with you will remain in my mind, and in this newsletter.
Hope you will enjoy that!
