Participant from University of Knoxville, Tennessee

Though it may not seem like it, there is genuinely so much to be learned about both yourself and the world in Rikuzentakata. I joined the program with the main goal of learning more about sustainable development, but I came away with so much more. New friends, new ideas about myself and the world, and new experiences were all found in Rikuzentakata, and I truly believe that if you are even slightly interested in this program, you should give it a shot!
