I had to fill the role of Uncle Sam for the ARI Harvest Thanksgiving Celebration. Had my picture taken with many Japanese children this weekend to give them a positive memory of Americans. Popcorn was 100yen, The picture was free.
Our German friend and co-volunteer Donata suggested we do a photo version of the American Gothic painting.
American Gothic is a painting by Grant Wood in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. So this is our rendition in traditional ARI garb straight from the ARI boutique, ARI rice recently harvested, and ARI tools refurbished at least once. Enjoy!

But we also did an ARI version, Please note the happy faces filled with the joy of sharing foodlife work together with friends from many nations and trying to live out the ARI motto "That we may live together".
As Gandhi once said, "Live simply, So others may simply live."
