The Project
The aim of this project is to support local education and community development among the hill-tribe people who live in Mae Hong Son. Increase their awareness of the importance of protecting their natural environment and give assistance in achieving a sustainable way of life. It also seeks to instill a sense of pride in their local cultures so that their traditions remain alive and stay an integral part of their lives, not just as a show put on for tourists. Volunteers also bring benefit to the local economy.
All the activities that the volunteers will take part in are at the request of the communities themselves, so that they get the maximum benefit in those areas where they are most in need. Volunteers will, therefore, get a very warm welcome and a richly rewarding experience.
