Koh Sukorn is a preserved island of Andaman sea in South Thailand. During this work camp, we will have a chance to join hands with the community members to preserve the local agriculture (rice planting) while we can learn about their way of living. Moreover, we will be creating activities and games with children and young people to open their views and let them learn about international culture together with the volunteers.

Work: • Working in the rice fields • Growing vegetables together with village members and kids • Creating games and activities for children. • Learning and integrating in the fisherman s lifestyle

Accomodation and food: Volunteers will stay at the local people house. You will need to bring only a light sleeping bag. We will provide with a small mattress and a mosquito net. The living condition is very simple than you would think. You may find it completely different than in your country. There are basic toilets and showers and a kitchen where volunteers will cook by themselves. They can take turn in daily tasks. The ingredients can be purchased at local grocery stores. It may be helpful if you bring some instant ingredients from home, so that you can share some of your traditional food with other volunteers. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans). As mentioned, that it’s a Muslim village, so there will be no pork used in cooking.
