| Job Description: |
Bung village is a mountainous, isolated area inhabited by Tay ethnic minority community. This community leads a subsistence existence. They have a backward economy, a low level of education and live without electricity and other basic commodities. For most of the children it is difficult to go to and from school as they either have to walk or go by horse for countless kilometers. As a result, most children only have elementary education. For generations, the people have mainly survived on exploiting available natural resources. The continual and relentless destruction of the area coupled with the forest’s rare and large biological diversity has seen it recognized as a need-to-protect nature reserve. This has had an adverse affect on the people’s lives as their farming area has diminished as a result. UVP and the local Youth Union will coordinate a summer camp in order to share knowledge about agricultural production, medical care, education and forest preservation with this Tay community. Volunteers will live with the local community and gain a valuable insight into and share the daily hardships that these people face. |
