Koh Sukorn is a preserved island of Andaman Sea in South Thailand. During this work camp, we will have the chance to join hands with the community members to preserve the local agriculture while we can learn about their way of life. 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. We will need your creativity and ideas of games and activities that will create a multi-cultural atmosphere for them

Harvesting rice by hand: The rice has been replanted in late August- September. The field are flooded for the first 2 months during the raining season then November and December are the start of the dry season. The rice will be ready at that time and the farmers will cut the top part of the plant where the rice seeds are located. This is the work that the volunteers will experience.
