This year gave them more spaces and more programs to experience joy and silliness and the freedom to let go. It is hard to quantify in an Impact Report what that exactly means. But we can tell you what it looks like. It looks like greeting every outing with enthusiasm and earnest curiosity. It looks like our kids not thinking twice about digging in with cow dung and mud to smear a house. It looks like late nights of completing puzzles at the computer camp and long afternoons in the office settling into a good book.

People in the U.S. like to lament that there is no “village” anymore when raising children. But here’s the thing, Thomas was born without a village to support him. We made that village. You are that village. Every box of tea, every donation, gave Thomas the love and structure and opportunities to grow.
We will continue to share our good fortunes with others. We will continue to run Ajiri Tea throughout this tariff madness. We will continue to run Ajiri until we can’t. Running Ajiri is a type of protest in this constricting capitalist world. If to grieve means to have loved, then to protest means to hope.
When corporations voluntarily secede their DEI initiatives so quickly, we dig in deeper. Why we aren't done with DEI, and why do people make it seem so damn hard to do the right thing?
