🏢 About the local organisation
This project is actively working for SDG 4 (Quality Education), organized together with a local group of the local government staffs, farmers and elementary school principals since 2001. The group aims to introduce the diversity of world cultures to children and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication using the learning-by-doing method and organizing alternative English language practice. We would like to empower the local community through the power of global volunteer. Through this workcamp, students can communicate with international volunteers, exchange culture each other.
*Outcome of this workcamp: In 2019, 7 vols. from 3 countries did a good job! Children got very active to communicate with the vols. even though they didn't understand English well. Helping farms was meaningful also for the vols. to understand about agriculture.
