Let Us Tell You About Our Exciting Ambitions
We like so many others had to put our activities on hold, awaiting the Covid effects and still waiting.
We do not know when our trainees can return from their villages, or when we can start to arrange our successful autumn/fall Learning Camps for village and migrant children. We will however help the Thai Non-formal Education with some short camps this July.
We do not think it will be possible for many, if any, overseas volunteers to travel to Southeast Asia this year. We will however initiate online learning and volunteering soonest, hopefully with the help of a major IT company this autumn!
With the funds raised, we now prepare for a restart after Covid! We will work on a lean budget and must rely on future fundraising and local support since it will be difficult and expensive for volunteers to travel for a long while we believe.
We will partner with a local school, relocate our Training Center there, It will be a win, win. More space for training, a special online training room, a library, organic gardening and sports, dorms. Our trainees and future volunteers will be able to socialize more with the schoolchildren and we help the school to get government support and allow them to receive orphan and migrant schoolchildren from Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. T
We are looking for support from overseas Ed and Tech companies, from local education institutions. We will invite online, virtual, volunteers to help our trainees, campers and local students. We will train our trainees to teach English and IT to local students, to be camp leaders and to act as digital ambassadors to help local small business owners, street vendors and villagers. We will start seeking overseas partners overseas, to share and scale up our learning and camp concepts. We will offer to train others, NGOs, schools, teachers.
To sustain our efforts long term as a nonprofit, NGO, we will need supporters, sponsors, volunteers onsite and volunteers online, volunteer fundraisers and support from EdTech companies and educational institutions.together we will scale up and reach out to, help more people!
Welcome to help us and tell your friends!
Again many thanks from OpenmindProjects
and the many young and older villagers, migrants in Southeast Asia
who we support!
