Today we worked in different departments.
The Market Development Department shared the ways to sell the dyed products with plants at Suan Niwet Kaset Sin's base of operations. The dyeing process is carried out by local cooperators. They dye clothes and fabrics with various patterns using dyes from nature. We proposed a plan and discussed what we would do in the future. We would like to use the dyed products with plants to help the local cooperators.
We also went to pick up the dye for tomorrow's dyeing. We used long sticks to drop berries from nearby trees and crushed them with a hammer to extract the color. We were able to learn about the most beginning stage of herb dyeing.
The Exchange Department also came to Suan Niwet Kaset Sin's base of operations to discuss venue decoration for an event called the Bilateral Market. We discussed how bamboo would be used to decorate the venue.
We then went to a bamboo shop to actually procure bamboo. Local people and PRENGO members used machetes and saws to collect the bamboo. It was quite difficult to cut the bamboo because it was so strong.
After returning to our base in Suan Niwet Kaset Sin, we worked on processing the bamboo. We worked on cutting the bamboo, piercing the bamboo joints, and writing designs on the bamboo.
Preparations for the decoration of the Bilateral Market venue are progressing well. We plan to continue processing the bamboo tomorrow.
The Education Department visited Wat Thaksin Waree School. We visited the school to conduct English Station which was held online in Japan, and career education session.
First, the students participated in the morning assembly and introduced themselves in front of the whole school.
Next, we started the 4th grade English class. In the class, we mainly taught them how to introduce themselves and how to tell and listen to what they like. The children could be seen happily singing songs in English.
After that, we moved to the 5th grade classroom for another English class, followed by was career education. During the career education, the children thought about what goals they can set in their daily lives in order to use their own strengths and get closer to their ideal image of themselves in the future.
The Education Department will be visiting Wat Thaksin Waree School for the next few days. We will monitor the progress of the achieving children’s goals.
