Monk for a Month is a Buddhist spiritual experience program offered by Blood Foundation with the assistance of temples in the Fang Valley region of Thailand. The purpose of this experiential learning program is to promote cultural exchange, deep understanding of the Buddhist teachings and of the monastic life in Thailand. http://www.dutiee.com/experience-being-a-buddhist-monk-for-a-month/
Professor Brown is coming to Fang for a three-month research project looking into the activities of Blood Foundation. Here below is a copy of his successful proposal to the Board of the USQ outlining the scope of his planned research. He's scheduled to be here mid 2011 and we're all looking forward to having him around. http://bloodfoundation.org/blog/blood/malcolm-brown
An article in a Norwegian magazine by Lars Taraldsen about the Daylight School, Shan refugees and Blood Foundation. You'll most likely need a translator!
Blood Foundation invited me to come to the ‘novice for children camp’, just a few days after my arrival Fang. Obviously, I really wanted to go with them. What a start of my stay in Fang!
During our 3 month stay at Moung Choum school we also worked with the significantly less well off Souncha school, which is primarily inhabited by the Palaung hill tribe.
Looking back at my time in Thailand, it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I arrived in Fang in early January 2009, amid the grandeur of north-western Thailand's jungle scenery and the foothills of the Himalayas. http://bloodfoundation.org/blog/blood/overview-of-my-time-in-thailand
