From the Pantanal to North America: A 40-Day Tour on the Leda Project

The Leda Project was established by True Father in 1999 in the wetlands of the Pantanal, a region shared by the nations of Paraguay and Brazil. True Father envisioned that it would become a place that would help solve the worldwide problem of hunger. Since its establishment, a group of dedicated Unificationists have lived and worked on the land, collaborating with the local community and government to create sustainable solutions that positively impact the environment and community.

Recently a Japanese Unificationist, James Nada, the U.S. representative of the Leda Project, did a 40-day tour of North America to spread the word about the project. In Canada he met with Unificationists in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Sudbury, Saskatoon, Calgary and Vancouver. He was invited into local church communities and people’s homes with open arms as he spoke of the work being done in Brazil and how others could help.

Next he made his way to the United States, where he spent time with Unificationist communities in Seattle, Portland, Boise, Billings, Sioux Falls, Minneapolis and Milwaukee. He met with Unificationists of all ages. Some were longtime friends he hadn’t seen in years; others were young people who were hearing about Leda for the first time. With the help of Kodan, the local churches and pastors, he was able to reach out to many families and gain support and membership for the Leda program.
