NPO ASHA=  Asian Sustainable Holistic Approach, supports the training of young  agriculturists, especially the minorities such as the mountain tribes, who  would contribute to sustainable agriculture development in politically unstable  Myanmar. Since 2008, we have been collaborating with the Grass Root  Organization in Myanmar to take in Burmese trainees for sustainable agriculture  development 10-months trainings every year.   
                      In the past, we have supported the  establishment of sustainable agricultural high school built by KIO, Myanmar,  Kachin State Provinsional Government, by giving them suggestions and sending  their staff/students to Japan for training. Dr. Kazuho Makino and Dr.  Teruo Miura, both agriculturists and ASHA board members, visited the  site on October 2005 to give suggestions. 
                      On May  2007, teachers and members of the high school, a total of 3, visited Japan to  get trainings on organic farming, adolescent education, and curriculum development  for 3-months period. ASHA is involved in organizing this training and  providing suggestions.
