We are truly blessed to have joined in your incredible celebration! The gratitude shown by the farmers, especially when they humbly asked for forgiveness if any of the vegetables didnโ€™t grow as well as expected, was deeply touching. This beautiful gesture reminds us that farmers are the most grateful peopleโ€”constantly giving back to the earth and their communities with humility and care. We must learn from them and carry that same gratitude in all that we do. ๐ŸŒฑ

We were also inspired by revisiting FOLOโ€™s large-scale composting efforts, a testament to sustainability at its best. The meal cooked by FOLOโ€™s farmers, made with their fresh produce, was absolutely delicious and truly embodied the spirit of farm-to-table.

Hereโ€™s to many more years of farming, community, and shared learning! ๐Ÿ’š

We are so grateful to Caroline Essame and Erica Neve for leading an inspiring round table on Nature Connection in Education at GUI before heading to the Philippines. Their insights, drawn from years of experience in Singapore, the UK, and Ericaโ€™s work with the Eden Project, enriched discussions on wellbeing, climate anxiety, nature deficit disorder, and integrating nature into education policy and youth empowerment for climate action.

We were fortunate to have a vibrant group of attendees who made the conversation even richer with their contributions.

We are excited to share that there will be a continued session in March 2025, and we hope GUIโ€™s new home will be ready by then to host this important conversation. Caroline and Erica have graciously offered to provide further resources and support for this crucial topic, and we are eager to build on this momentum! ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒฑ

A heartfelt shoutout to Minyu, who has returned to Taiwan, for all the incredible support she has given to GUI across our platforms, especially with the Earth Oven team! We are grateful for her generosity, from sponsoring a table at our fundraising dinner to her unwavering dedication.

Here are two beautiful photos of Minyuโ€”one with a special gift made in TouchWood: a small bottle of earth and an adorable bread-shaped soft toy initiated by Irene from Earth Oven. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿž

Best wishes, Minyu! We look forward to seeing GUI grow in Taiwan! ๐Ÿ’š

We're proud to highlight the inspiring work of the Lorong Chencharu Bicycle Co-Op, a dedicated group reviving and upcycling bicycles at GUI. Their passion for sustainability and community shines as they repair bikes, giving them a new lease on life for those in need.
