What we learn

1. Your learning and knowledge gained:

 

Other skills we developed are social skills, communication skills, thinking skills, research skills, and self-management skills. This is because working in a very big group will need good communication skills, social skills, and self-management skills in order to communicate with teachers, each member of our group from different year groups and sorting out activities and trips we’re going to. This is because we will need to make a group decision on what we will be doing, listening and giving ideas to each of our members, presenting in front of the school to spread awareness, responsible for going to meetings, activities, and trips, researching, planning, collecting data, organizing data, formulating questions, coming up with ideas, researching different ways we can help, collecting pieces of information, organizing trips,  and planning the actions that we will be taking step by step. Another skill we learned was teamwork skills, this is because our members are from different year groups and we have a different schedule and time table which means that we won’t be able to meet on certain time which means that we will have to work as a team in order to complete each work. 

 

In this project, we’ve learned many new things from experts and people who we met through the project. We learn some techniques on how to plant vegetation, how people living in the slums are like different ways we can help people to have a better life, and what orphan school schools are like. We learned this new knowledge from different trips we went on in this project. We went to visit the hand to hand organization in Pattaya which is a community that helps the government take care of people who don’t have parents before they will send them to organizations that will find new parents for them or send them to hand to hand school. They also show us how they help people who they meet. They show us the house where there are many families living. Because they are mostly older people and can’t really work, they make these people do gardening which can be sold into markets and help them to earn money, from what we experience in the hand to hand community we think that the way we can help poor people earn money and reduce poverty is by offering them plants which can produce seed such as pumpkins, Mexican marigold (Thai King’s flower), tomato and etc. We also went to the Baan Sunsaray which is where we learn different ways we can do in order to grow vegetables, i.e. how deep should the seed be, how to make fertilizer (using rice), how to biodegrade wastes by using soil and dry leaves, their school which is made out of bamboo and also pigs and chicken which are for food.     

 

In this project, we most developed our understanding of the no poverty, zero hunger, good health, and well-being and the decent work and economic growth section of the “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) since our project is about “giving garden” and providing food to the poor and helping them having income by selling food and organic flowers to medical services which will help in reducing poverty, reduce hunger, helping people to have a good and healthy life and also helping them to earn money which helps then to take care their children and sending them to school(also help reducing poverty and also help in the economic growth). Since 

Overall, We’ve learned so many skills, both technical and physical skills that can be used in the future.
