Project WIN: Grassroots Partnerships for Thailand

Thanks to a generous gift from a private philanthropic group in Florence, Italy, the Chiang Dao Project Protein installation can now be completed.  After last weekend all that's left is minor upgrading of the fish pond, building the Mushroom Hotel (November after the rains) and the final two-day village celebration in January, 2018, underwritten by the British Women's group of Bangkok.  The new chicken coop is in full operation and the raised vegetable gardens are thriving, and the children are proud of their new skills. This weekend six of Aj. Thongin's university classmates came from all over the Kingdom to help teach the    Five Step Maintenance Program which is part of every project. They  spent two happy days  working alongside the kids and the 14 college-student volunteers from Chiang Mai.  The Chiang Dao Site is a traditional hilltribe village inside a protected national park. It can be almost inaccessible during the rainy season. Before starting
