Thank you Sompoi. We may try to organize for early July so the volunteers can help with the planting of the rice.
There will be about 12 volunteers, working in the fields with the farmers for 8 days. Will there be enough work for them?
Also, can the volunteers sleep in the villages in the farmer’s houses or in a community center? Or will they need to sleep in a hotel? If they sleep in the village, we would need to coordinate breakfast, lunch and dinner for all of the them.
Whole Foods Market would pay for all food for the volunteers and they will pay for the sleeping arrangements (per person per night).
Whole Foods can also provide money for a community service project. Is there anything the community needs that the volunteers can work on? (Building a house, painting a community center, planting trees, restoring a school, etc)
