FAGAD objective is to ensure participants work together in harmony without distinction of origin (Race, rank in society and religion) on our work camps. By way of this program each and every one brings their contribution to a defined site: in the course of their activities they will learn to know each other, accept each other and exchange with each another. In brief, the gift of themselves, their character and their qualities. Life in the different work camps is organized by the volunteers themselves: at the head an animator who must provide the animation and leadership for the group to enable it to achieve the targets fixed for it. He ensures the cohesion of the group and takes care to see all functions correctly done in respect of the activities. But he is not a magician waving his magic wand to ensure success. Success is the responsibility of each and every member of the group. Each volunteer must contribute effectively using his personal capacities and this is a vital element to achieve the targets fixed.

Volunteers are the key person to make the students, teachers and Local community speak using English in daily life. They learn English in the class but only in reading and writing (grammarly) but very lacking in speaking with Each other due to the culture barrier. When there are international volunteers, the environment in the school and community force to use English and they also couple exchange with volunteers. Workplaces There will be 2 schools which are Ban Krogluek School and Ban Maab Grad School. The local host may schedule Monday-Wednesday work in one school and Thursday and Friday work in another school. You will meet different classes each day.

Intercultural and Language (ICL) – Nakhon Ratchasima, learning and sharing the intercultural and language still are the main purpose. Volunteers will share and exchange culture, language, and knowledge with the local community and students in the school. English as the global language and intercultural learning are important for local Thai people to understand and be for global citizens. English is also the gateway to open mind and knowledge. The project was created by VSA Thailand and has been successful for eight years. Former volunteers came to give the opportunity for children in schools and the local community. Many local people improved their English skills through exchanging with international volunteers, or at least they try to speak the English language more and dare to face and work with the foreigner even though they cannot speak English. Moreover, volunteers’ activities impacted the local community. They used to stay lively and trusty with the foreigner. Local people have a chance to learn, accept, and adopt the ways of life with the different cultures. Ban Krogluek School is a primary school, there are about 10 teachers and 100 students from kindergarten (2-6 years old), pratomsuksa 1-6 (7-12 years old).
