During UPLift's initial surveying period in Fang we were delighted to find a variety of people motivated to assist the less fortunate. One such example is Kru Nong, a teacher at a Thai government school run by border police in the hills surrounding Fang proper.
Nong is responsible for the school's experimental agriculture project. This project is run as an informative example for members of the local Lahu hilltribe village to learn about organic vegetable gardening, pig rearing, and chicken rearing. The following is a short video of Kru Nong explaining the school's project:
Being of ethnic Shan descent, Nong is enthusiastic about helping UPLift with training Shan migrant workers on maintaining their own gardens in order to manage their food costs more effectively. Click here to see more of Kru Nong's school and breathtaking views of the connecting Lahu village.
