Building Indonesian Youth Through Sustainable Farming with Gouri Mirpuri The Get InPowered Podcast: Fostering Community through Shared Stories

“Wherever I go, I create a little bit of trouble.” - Gouri Mirpuri
Gouri Mirpuri creates just the right kind of trouble wherever she goes, and today she and Judithe are stirring some up together. As co-founder of The Learning Farm and wife of Singapore’s Ambassador to the United States, Gouri has some fantastic stories about her travels and career.
In today's episode, Gouri talks about The Learning Farm and its efforts in Indonesia to aid struggling youth by engaging them in farming and teaching environmentally sustainable farming practices. Through three focal areas of curriculum--the Heart, the Head and the Hands--The Learning Farm is rebuilding people who will rebuild their nation and world.
“Unfortunately, I feel like these kids didn’t fail the educational system, the education system actually failed them--failed to teach them any of these life skills that were so important.” - Gouri
