Travellers will become part of a special community that encourages everyone to support the growth & development of our young learners. There will also be opportunities to interact with the Local Moken Sea Gypsy Community here during their stay. We work closely together to bridge the gap between the cultures of the island. Our students are from Thailand, Myanmar & also from the Moken Sea Gypsy Community.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
