DALAA-WC6608 Ban Prunai School Yao Island (Koh Yao) Solidarités Jeunesses

PARTENAIRE

Koh Yao is a Muslim island in the Andaman sea of southern Thailand. Since it has started to become a tourist attraction, there have been some big changes in the locals’ `lives. The villagers have changed their living from fishing and agriculture to tourism industry-related work. People slowly realized the dangers of losing their friendly sufficient communities and environment issues are rising quickly. During these 2 weeks, volunteers will join Ban Prunai school to help organize activities with kids and be a part this community. With this way, we hope to get more mutual understanding between the local and the international communities.

Logement & nourriture

Volunteers will sleep in the classroom. There will be only some yoga mats, pillows, and mosquito nets. We suggest you bring your own sleeping bag, inflatable mattress, or another yoga mat. It’s ok if you don’t bring any of those, but you need to be sure that you will be comfortable in such condition. There are basic toilets, showers and a kitchen at the school canteen. The teachers and villagers are willing to help you to cook as well. Local people eat rice (or noodles) 3 times a day with side dishes like curries, omelets, local leaves and vegetables. Volunteers will be welcome to cook their own food using the ingredients available there. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans).
