We drove together by car towards the camp... The drive took about 1 hour. Udon Thani city is quite busy, the longer we were on the road towards the camp the less civilization was also to see.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">The camp of. Volunt2Thai is very remote and the next smaller town is Amphoe Phen and is about 20 minutes’ drive away. I was lucky and was allowed to have the largest room, with the most beautiful view...&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;"><br></p></div></div>

When I woke up in the morning and came out of the room, I just saw pure nature and heard the sound of nature...birds, crickets, etc. Since I live in Switzerland rather close to the city with a lot of traffic and chaos, I just enjoyed this nature and tranquility.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">However, not everything is so &quot;nice&quot; when you live here in the middle of nature...because nature lives here really and literally together with you... You may share the shower as well as the kitchen with the animals such as geckos, mosquitoes and also spiders :)</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">At first it is a bit unusual, but eyes closed and through! You find a way to share everything together ... you must not forget that it is here on the camp in contrast to the housing situation of the local residents almost again luxury! Yes, the locals live for years so and with even worse conditions!</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">Apart from that, you also learn to appreciate the luxury in Europe / Switzerland much more!!! Because for many people it is normality, as it is here in Amphoe Phen!</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;"><br></p></div></div>

Together with Joseph a good friend of Raimund, we sat down and wrote down all the preparations, like shopping list and to-do lists. Together with Lilli we went to Udon Thani early in the morning and bought everything on the huge vegetable market and in the shopping center.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">I found it very exciting and interesting to really experience the culture here, including what the caterers buy! The day after, we all cooked fresh tomato sauce together, cut all the toppings for the pizza as well as made the fresh pizza dough, of course everything fresh and prepared by hand!</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">140 children from Ban Khon and Riab School and Ban Nong Kung School we were able to make happy with pizza baking spread over 4 days. I, all of us were very happy with the project and everyone learned something and made this time an unforgettable moment and experience :)&nbsp;</p></div>

Some of them didn't even know what pizza is or how to eat it. The best moment was when many children decided to take some of the pizza home to share with their families.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">I have put together a video of the project for anyone who would like to learn a little more about it. It can also be found on the Volunt2Thai Facebook page and on YouTube... Aside from the project, I helped out a bit at the food forest.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">This consists of lots of great and different plants, like bananas, coconuts, mangos, moringas, figs, chestnuts and much more! The plants are currently still small / young but soon and with a little patience, work and time you will be able to harvest many great fruits / vegetables and eat and enjoy!</p><p style="font-size:12pt;"><br></p></div>

A flower arrangement made of banana leaves and many great flowers, then candles and incense sticks are added and in the evening placed in a pond and one may make a wish with it.</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">This was of course also a great experience as well as again a culture shock, because also the schools as the whole lifestyle are of course in very bad condition. As a European/Swiss, you are not used to such conditions and it affects you very much when you think about how these children and people have to live here. It is good that Volunt2Thai exists, a project that makes life easier for at least some children and gives them a perspective for the future...</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;">I wish Volunt2Thai only the best and that it can hopefully grow more and more and still exists for many, many years to support all these children and to help them!!!! Thanks to Raimund and the whole family for this deep experience, which has shaped me and my character in positive senses and I will always carry in my heart!&nbsp;</p></div></div>

Ich, wir alle waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Projekt und alle haben etwas dazu gelernt und diese Zeit zu einem unvergesslichen Moment und Erfahrung gemacht :)</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">Viel Kinder haben vorher noch nie Pizza gegessenen, erst recht auch nie Pizza gebacken… Sie wussten Teilweise gar nicht was Pizza überhaupt ist oder wie man sie isst. Der schönste Moment war, als sich viele Kinder dazu entschieden haben, einen Teil der Pizza nach Hause zu nehmen um diese mit der Familie zu teilen.</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">Ich habe ein Video des Projektes zusammengestellt, für alle die etwas mehr darüber erfahren möchten. Es ist auch auf der Volunt2thai Facebookseite und auf YouTube zu finden… Abgesehen von dem Projekt, habe ich ein bisschen auf dem Food-Forest ausgeholfen.</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">Dieser besteht aus ganz vielen tollen und verschieden Pflanzen, wie Bananen, Kokos, Mangos, Moringas, Feigen, Maroni und vieles mehr! Die Pflanzen sind zurzeit noch klein/jung aber bald und mit etwas Geduld, Arbeit und Zeit wird man ganz viele Tolle Früchte/Gemüse ernten können sowie essen und genießen!</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">Ich habe auch verschiedene Schulen besichtigt und mit Raimund ein paar Stunden Englisch Unterricht für die Kinder gegeben, sowie auch ein Blumengesteck mit den Kindern für das Loi Krathong Fest gemacht. Ein Gesteck aus Bananenblätter und vielen tollen Blumen, dann werden Kerzen und Räucherstäbchen dazugegeben und abends in ein Gewässer gelegt und man darf sich damit etwas Wünschen.</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">Das war natürlich auch eine tolle Erfahrung sowie auch wieder einen Kulturschock, da auch die Schulen wie der ganze Lebensstil natürlich in sehr schlechtem Zustand sind. Als Europäer/Schweizer ist man sich solche Zustände nicht gewohnt und es nimmt einem doch sehr mit, wenn man bedenkt wir diese Kinder und Menschen hier leben müssen. Gut das es Volunt2Thai gibt, ein Projekt, dass wenigstens einigen Kinder das Leben hier einfacher macht und eine Perspektive für die Zukunft gibt…</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">Ich wünsche Volunt2Thai nur das Beste und dass es hoffentlich immer mehr wachsen kann und noch ganz viele, viele Jahre besteht um all diese Kinder weiter zu unterstützen und ihnen zu helfen!!! Danke an Raimund und der ganzen Familie für diese tiefe Erfahrung, die mich und meinen Charakter in positiven Sinnen geprägt hat und ich immer im Herzen tragen werde!&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size:12pt;"><br></p><p style="font-size:12pt;">Liebe Grüsse Elena</p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px;"><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></blockquote></blockquote><div style="color:inherit;"><p style="font-size:12pt;">&nbsp;</p></div></div>

In cooperation an elevated nature trail with &quot;tree house&quot; will be installed. The project budget is provided by actions of the students of UniLaSalle. The students of UniLaSalle carry out fundraising activities throughout the year (e.g. daily sandwich sales and food sales at school events).</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div></div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>The installation space is 30 x 30 meters.</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>3 fully grown evergreen trees, (12 meters +) are planted in a triangle. A walkway connected to the trees in the shape of a three-pointed star is to run along at a height of 250 cm. A nature path will be built between the trees with a &quot;floating&quot; pergola. The trees themselves will not be touched or damaged but will be supported by a steel structure which will also support the &quot;bridge&quot;.</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>&nbsp;</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>There will be stairs or ladders as an ascent to the walkway. In the middle of the sidewalk there will be a raised pergola. As in a museum, natural cycles will be explained (pictures on the ceiling). In the middle, where the pergola is additionally supported on the root or tree trunk, a permaculture garden will be created as a further project, which will be irrigated by an irrigation system under the floating pavement. Gravel will be scattered around the plant. Later on there will be sitting places provided which invite visitors to rest.</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div></div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>effect:</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>At this natural place you can observe the life in the trees (it will be full of life for sure !!) Birdhouses can be installed. The treetops can be further cultivated (parasitic plants). A will be a cool and very beautiful place to relax, a natural public park and place of exchange will be created to the already existing structures.</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>&nbsp;</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>It will also be a natural playground for children, a &quot;monkey house&quot; to let off steam with climbing facilities such as rope rings, ladders and swings,</div></div><div style="font-size:16.5px;"><div>a &quot;child heaven&quot;</div></div></div></div>
