From Bamboo Project to Community’s Sustainable Change
“The true intention wasn’t about the bamboos, but the people. It is to build their capacities.”
Supachai Bumrung (Ting), a Teach For Thailand (TFT) cohort 7th spoke about ‘Yummacha,’ a bamboo-processing project in the Sang Na Goen Forest community, Chiang-Rai, founded by him and his colleagues.
“It all began during my first year when the Mae Fah Luang Foundation tasked local teachers with developing a Problem-based Learning curriculum, incorporating 21st Century Skills and a student-centric learning style. Additionally, it had to revolve around agriculture.”
