🏢 About the local organisation
Organized together with Charity-Oriented Myanmar (COM) since 2012 (5th time in this place). COM is a rural development NGO founded by youth in 2007 organizing various types of youth training. NICE's been co-organizing the projects and they will do everything by themselves from 2014 as planned (but this project has special reason to keep co-organizing)! This is organized in the Buddhist monastery hosting over 540 children mainly from low income families to provide education, meals and accommodations.
💼 What the programme involves
We will mainly help the social workers of the monastery such as farming (planting corns and paddy, plowing, weeding, etc.) and education for the kids/ youth there. Be flexible and ready to do any other work needed such as performance art, playing with them, teaching computer and English skills, etc.
Study: Future plan of workcamps in Myanmar and global cooperation for it. Bring some info.!
