About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Thai New Year season called “Songkran“ will be held on 13-15 April. Songkran is an important custom for Thai families, community and religion. It is also very popular with visitors. Thai people will prepare themselves for the beginning of the New Year by cleaning their houses and preparing to celebrate the festival in the local temples and communities. There are many activities during the festival including the water splashing, the bathing rite for Buddha images and the monks, and the performances for all 3 days. Moreover, local foods that it is not easy to find on a normal day will be provided by the local people. Everyone can join in the celebration and festival. VSA has organized this work camp to support the festival and celebrate Thai traditional New Year with the international participants by collaboration with the local temple and community. This year, VSA hopes that we can continue to help the locals prepare for the festival, and exchange the culture.

💼 What the programme involves

Joining the festival – During the Songkran festival, the participant will be a part of the festival as an international participant. The participant will help the local people to prepare the celebration of the festival. You can bring a performance from your own country to perform during the festival including a music instrument to show at the festival (optional). Kitchen garden – The participant will work in the small farm as a kitchen garden. They can renovate and plant some vegetables for making the food in the future
