村庄背景

苏科岛是泰国董里府，巴莲区的一个小岛。小岛占地1400公顷。每年我们都会和Baan Laem及Baan Toong这两个村庄的社区一起组织活动。在这两个村庄一共有337个家庭，1189人口，其中95%是穆斯林。村民们最常见的职业就是捕鱼、割胶、种水稻、西瓜、蔬菜等农作和养殖牲口。村民们非常热情大方，并仍保留了互相协作分享的民风。

Village Background

Sukorn Island (Koh Sukorn) is a small island situated in Palian district, Trang province. The island covers an area of 8,750 Rai. Like every year, we will be conducting activities with communities of Baan Laem and Baan Toong. In these 2 villages, there is population of 1,189 or 337 families, of which 95% are Muslims. The common occupations of the villagers are fishing, rubber tapping, as well as agriculture; growing paddy, watermelons, traditional way of growing vegetables, and keeping livestock. In general the villagers are very generous and still remain the culture of supporting and sharing with each other. Furthermore, they also believe that paddy and agriculture is the main food stability of the village.

项目背景

当地的一组研究者已经和以上提及的两个村庄合作有些年了。在其中的一个村庄，村民仍然延续了他们传统的生活方式，而同时，另一个村子的村民已经开始丢弃旧的价值观并往城市发展。越来越少的村民从事种植水稻或自己的农作物，因为这些东西变得越来越容易购买。因此，这些研究者致力于让当地人保留他们原来的生活风俗和种植水稻或其他农作物的传统，同时发展当地水稻的品种并让农民们互相协作。然而，令人伤心的是近几年，研究团队并没有达到多少他们预期的成效。尽管他们有没达到预期，但我们成功地和村民们展开着我们的活动（主要是农耕和一些儿童的关怀活动），并通过短期和中期的志愿者活动和村民们建立了一个良好的关系。自从2013年12月的第一次工作营展开以来，Dalaa已经融入到了两村村民中。苏科岛也是我们提供当地住家的长期国际义工的长期项目的其中一个站点。在这次工作营中，我们会有机会和当地社区成员一起保护当地农作物，同时我们可以学习他们的生活方式。另外，我们将为当地的孩子和年轻人们组织活动和游戏来开拓他们的眼界，让他们和志愿者一起学习国际文化。我们需要可以为他们营造多文化分为的游戏和活动的创意和想法。

Project Background

Already some years, a group of local researchers had been working with the 2 communities mentioned above. In one community, the village members are still remaining their traditional way of living, while in another, people started to drop their old values and turning to development from the cities. Less and less people are working on paddy fields, or growing their own food supply as it is easier to buy. Therefore, these researchers aim to bring awareness to the locals to keep their old lifestyle and revive the tradition of growing paddy, other traditional agriculture, as well as developing local rice species and doing farmer’s co-operative. However, it is sad those in recent years, the researcher group has not been much active in the effort they created in the early stage. Though we lose their part, we anyhow have successfully continued activities (mainly agriculture and activities with kids) with villagers and develop good relationships through short term work camps and middle term volunteers. DaLaa has been involved with the villagers of these two communities since the first work camp took place in December 2013. For more information, Koh Sukorn is also one of our long-term project sites that it has offered an opportunity to long-staying international volunteers to live with a local host family through their service. During this work camp, we will have a chance to join hands with the community members to preserve the local agriculture, while we can learn about their way of living. Moreover, we will be creating activities and games with children and young people to open their views and let them learn about international culture together with the volunteers. We will need your creativity and ideas of games and activities that will create a multi-cultural atmosphere for them.
