Seeing organic

On the weekend, 25 children and some staff and volunteers headed for a trip to Ban Thaton to visit our friends at the Mae Kok River Village Resort to see their organic farm project they have been running since 2002.

During the visit we learnt about the effects of chemical farming and the benefits of organic farming. We also took a tour of their extensive organic farm which has a huge varieties of fruits, vegetables and animals.

After the tour we were treated to a beautiful lunch (using vegetables from the garden we had just been through) over looking the river.

The trip allowed us to form a great contact with the teacher and coordinator of the organic farm and we look forward to working with them in the future to help our children gain more skills and improve our agriculture programme at the shelter.
