Necessary Repair

A heartfelt thank you to a long-time supporter

A Necessary Repair at the Volunt2Thai Campus Maintaining the Volunt2Thai Campus is an important part of our work. Not every project involves building something new – sometimes it is simply about repairing what is already there and keeping the facilities safe and functional.

Recently, a wastewater pipe behind our sanitary facilities, used by both children and international project participants, broke. Wastewater could no longer flow properly into the septic tank and was leaking behind the building. During the rainy season, the soft ground made a permanent repair impossible. We therefore had to use a temporary solution until the conditions allowed us to carry out the work properly.
Thanks to a donation from our long-time friend and supporter J.L., who prefers to remain anonymous, we were finally able to replace the damaged pipe. A concrete surface was also added to the area, making it cleaner, safer and much easier to maintain.
We sincerely thank J.L. for his trust and support. 🙏

A place for children during the school holidays
The timing of the repair is particularly important because the Volunt2Thai Summer School is taking place during the school holidays.
Many children in our local communities live in poverty and have limited opportunities for activities and play at home. During the holidays, the Volunt2Thai Campus becomes a place where they can learn, play, take part in activities, spend time with friends and simply enjoy being children.

The campus offers space for sports, games, creative activities, learning and cultural exchange. At the same time, international project participants have the opportunity to experience everyday life in rural Thailand and become part of the local community.
For this reason, keeping our facilities clean, safe and functional is just as important as the activities themselves.
A functioning bathroom, a clean campus or a repaired pipe may seem like small things – but they help create a safe and welcoming place for children and everyone who spends time at Volunt2Thai.
