Village Development Partnership Project

Dear TCCC Members,
The Executive Board of the Thai-Canadian Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that on behalf of the members, we have accepted a proposal from the Populations and Community Development Association (PDA) to participate in a Village Development Partnership project. Founded in 1974 by Khun Mechai Viravaidya (of Cabbage and Condoms fame), PDA is one of Thailands most diverse Non-Government Organizations. PDA was first active in promoting family planning in urban and rural areas of Thailand at a time when knowledge of and access to such services were scarce. Since that initial focus, PDA programs now encompass a variety of development sectors such as integrated rural development, local institution building and income generation. The Village Development Partnership (VDP) has been successfully implemented in over 400 villages in Thailand and other Southeastern countries. The project is a holistic approach to community development and contributes to five major development areas: social development community empowerment, economic development - providing credit and business skills; environment; health; and education. Under the proposal, TCCC will sponsor the village of Baan Nong Phai, located in Buriram Province, Northeastern Thailand. Baan Nong Phai has already formed democratically-elected committees, conducted a community needs assessment, performed a Bamboo Ladder, finalized their development plan, and has begun a small-scale savings program at the communityoperated Village Development Bank, under the supervision of PDA staff. The villagers need sponsorship of Baht 2,000,000 to begin a micro-credit loan portion of a Village Development Bank so that they can ensure sustainable development through business as well as conduct large-development projects, which require capital investment. In addition to assisting the village through financial support, TCCC members will have the opportunity to exercise their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) interests through participating in community activities in Baan Nong Phai, idea contributions and training. The Executive Board has created a VDP Committee under its Treasurer, Michael Howard, which will coordinate our fund raising and CSR activities. Members will soon receive more information about the project and our role. If you have any questions or an interest to actively participate in this initiative, please feel free to contact me and/or Michael Howard through the TCCC. John Casella, TCCC President

Village Development Partnership Projects

With the Thai-Canadian Chamber of Commerces goal of taking on a Village Development Partnership project in Issan, Michael, Ted Spevick and I set off bright and early on a recent Saturday morning with Paul Salvette, who is the CSR Officer with PDA (Population and Community Development Association), heading northeast for Buriram in Issan Province, a four hour drive from Bangkok. We were going with Paul to visit two villages and learn as much as we could about the programs. We were met by other staff on arrival, all of whom were as friendly, knowledgeable and committed as Paul.
DA dates back more than thirty years to Khun Mechai Viravaidya who some of you may have heard speak not long ago at a TCCC luncheon. He has earned respect throughout the world for his humanitarian work in the area of HIV/Aids and for improving the quality of life in thousands of villages in Thailand. Since he established PDA as a grassroots organization in 1974, Khun Mechais vision has never wavered. His aim was to complement the efforts of the Thai Government in promoting family planning in areas where knowledge and access to services were scarce. Trained residents of villages and urban neighborhoods were recruited to provide information on family planning, including the supervised, nonmedical distribution of oral contraceptives. Between the 70s and 2005, the number of children per family decreased from 7 to less than 2, largely because of Khun Mechais efforts. Today the organization is one of the countrys largest networks, monitoring 11,000 villages through 18 centers in 15 provinces. Early on, Khun Mechai came up with the brilliant idea of creating small resorts and restaurants to promote acceptance of family planning and to generate income to support the developmental activities of PDA. He called them Cabbages and Condoms to bring home the fact that condoms should be as plentiful as cabbages. They are situated in Bangkok, in Hu-Kwang Bay south of Pattaya (under the name Birds and Bees),in the mountains of Khao Yai and in the Northeast where we were on the weekend. They have an excellent reputation for friendly staff, affordable accommodation and consistently good food. PDA expanded its activities to include primary health care, HIV/AIDS education and prevention, water resource development, sanitation, income-generation, promotion of small rural enterprise programs, conservation, youth development, gender equality and democracy promotion. Recently, they have approached the problem of rural poverty by empowering the poor through the Village Development Partnership program, which establishes a community-owned Village Development Bank for micro credit. Programs are based on the belief that local people are best suited to be an equal partner in shaping their future. The first step is to identify villages that would benefit and with 70,000 villages in Thailand, finding them is not a problem. PDA staff then go to the villages to give an overview of the program and determine whether they are interested. While it is never imposed, in most cases, the villagers cannot contain their excitement because they recognize a Village Partnership as an opportunity that will change their lives and sustain their development. The next step is for the villagers, under the direction of the Village Headman, to form committees to put an initial proposal together, incorporating the demographics of the village, their most immediate needs, the average annual income, the present livelihood of the

A Visit to Issan to look at some of the

At Cabbages and Condoms villagers and what they think they 'could' do in the way of viable projects, to improve their quality of life. As an example, a village could currently be rice farming and raising water buffalo. The problem with rice farming in this area is that it is extremely dry and the farmers can only produce one crop a year so between November, when the rice is harvested and June, when the next crop is planted, there is a lot of migration to look for other work in order to survive. PDA is attempting to decrease migration by approaching factories near Bangkok or other big cities to try and persuade them to relocate to the Northeast where their costs and their labour will be cheaper. They have purchased land in the area which they then lease to the factories and the initiative has had a positive effect on job creation locally, decreasing migration. The first village we visited is not yet in a partnership but is anxious to become involved. The difference between this one and the second which has been in a partnership for a year, was very dramatic. Everyone in the village was expecting us and had gathered in the temple, even the smallest members. The village headman went through the demographics and livelihood of the people, then spoke about their most urgent needs. Everyone listened intently and the hope for a better future was palpable on the villagers faces. Afterward they led us through the village November 2010

and we saw a room sized rice mill where they produce a modest amount of kau neo (sticky rice), for their own consumption. They were rice farmers who raise some water buffalo and they had come up with a few ideas as to possibilities which would generate income. There is a monk in the village who is a skilled carpenter and would be willing to produce furniture to sell and to impart his skills to some of the villagers. They are in the process of forming committees to get a proposal ready and for them, our visit marked a beginning. The second village was visibly much further ahead and has been moving forward at a great rate since they began a year ago. Before they started they were farming rice, raising buffalo and selling fertilizer. In their proposal they came up with a plan to produce crafts which they are doing and to create a home stay program incorporating an initiative started by a group from the Netherlands, Bring the Elephant Home. Many mahouts in Thailand have been forced to take their elephants to cities or larger towns because they dont have enough money to look after them. A city is the last place you would expect to find an elephant and their existence is heartbreaking. Without the forest and sufficient food, Thai elephants wont stand a chance of survival. Bring the Elephant Home is dedicated to create a better future for all Thai elephants and the village is working to this end. The particular elephant the village bought came from Surin which is close to the border between Thailand and Cambodia. It had stepped on a landmine and before transporting it to their village, some of the villagers went to an elephant sanctuary in Chiangmai to learn about general care and specifically how to treat a wounded elephant. They then brought it to their village and are nurturing it back to health. Their Village Partnership Project is a tourist home stay where people can experience life in a rural village, learn some of the culture and be offered for example, Thai cooking lessons. They will also go out every morning or afternoon to the island where the elephant is to learn hands on from the mahout what is involved in looking after his elephant for a good part of its life and his! But nothing is for free which I think is the best part of these partnerships. Khun Mechai believes that if you just keep on giving and people are not obliged to give back, it becomes a vicious circle and you

will never eradicate poverty. His objectives for the people are to improve their quality of life through education, good health, generation of income leading to sustainable development, community responsibility and preservation of the environment. PDA reviews the villages proposal, giving suggestions and feedback and before any funding is given, the villagers have to show some proof of savings. It can be as little as 10 or 20 Baht a week (30 to 60 cents) but they have to prove they are able to save money. The second step is tree planting; they are given 40 Baht for every tree they plant and must plant 10,000 trees. However, it goes beyond this. PDA must see that the trees are healthy after one year. When these criteria are met, the village can apply for micro credit by submitting loan applications fro their projects. Accurate records have to be kept by the appointed Village Bank Committee and when we were there, they proudly showed us all of these their costs (which included the elephant and the trip to Chiangmai) their assets, and profits, explaining all the entries in detail. Another initiative of the Village Development Partnership Project is the Green Village Toy Library. PDA and the Village Youth Council determine an appropriate location for the library within the village and it may start out as just a shelf, depending on the number of toys donated by urban children. It may then expand into a cabinet decorated by the children which will be the basis for collection and promotion. Eventually it will be a room or facility that serves as a daycare, recreational and childrens computer center. It is totally managed by village children who appoint a committee to establish the rules of the library. I cant begin to tell you how heartwarming it was to hear all about the library and how it works from the three children on the committee who had obviously spent time preparing their presentation. They have designated hours after school when toys can be checked out for up to one week and in order to borrow a toy, a child has to do some community work. It could be planting trees or picking up garbage: newspapers, cans etc which will be sold for recycling. A parent must verify that their child has earned the privilege of borrowing a toy, before it can be taken home. After they had reviewed the system, the little boy outlined the responsibilities and values children are learning through the use

ofthe library. Khun Mechai has also built a school for students in the area, designed by a Singapore architect. We were taken there Sunday morning and it is really beautiful. You cross over a Bridge of Knowledge as you come onto the campus and the classrooms are open sided pods constructed of bamboo. The assembly area is currently outdoors and is filled with enormous coloured pots where the students plant vegetables and herbs that are used in the canteen. A fantastic geodesic dome, constructed entirely of bamboo is almost complete and will be the new assembly area and gym. It will have the added distinction of being the largest and only bamboo geodesic dome in the world! PDA received the Gates Award for Global Health in 2007 for its outstanding work in the areas of family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention and has received numerous other accolades. Currently Khun Mechai is speaking in New York City with Melinda Gates on the UN Millennium Development Goals and will discuss how poverty eradication can be achieved anywhere. CIDA has donated money in the past, in fact the meeting room in the Cabbages and Condoms resort we stayed at in Buriram, was funded through a CIDA grant. It is very inspiring when you hear of people like Khun Mechai who have made such a difference in the lives of others. He has been committed to these cutting edge projects for years, is close to 70 with unlimited energy and ideas and apparently, a wonderful sense of humour. He says quite candidly that its too late to help the politicians so you must give the people an opportunity to sustain their development and above all, educate children, who are the future of Thailand. The V illage Partnership Projects encourage partners to share their expertise, skills and advice and this can be totally hands on. Anyone is welcome to go up to a village and plant trees for a weekend, help paint a room in a Home stay project or do whatever needs to be done. I have volunteered to teach at the school for a month in January and PDA is very receptive to the idea. All very inspirational and a wonderful opportunity to participate in an interactive and meaningful way. Julie Howard September 20, 2010

Autonomy in the Deep South?

n Wednesday, October 13th, Canadian journalist and Southern Thailand analyst, Chandler Vandergrift spoke to the Chamber members on the issues of the Deep South. Violent unrest has simmered in the southern border provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat for decades. Despite an annual military budget of $ 91 million dollars and a force that includes 20,000 uniformed troops and approximately 85,000 paramilitaries, security forces have only managed to battle insurgents to a stalemate. While this stalemate continues, Chandler spoke on the opportunity for special administrative solutions in addressing this regions complex cultural and political concerns. We thank Chandler and TCCC member hotel, Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok for their support of this event.

Get Away From It All in Bangkok

Getting to or from any holiday destination in Thailand take can at least three hours both ways; thats wasting six hours of your precious weekend time. So why not put that time to better use by pampering yourself and partner and renting a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok? And you dont even have to leave the hotel once youve checked in, it has everything you need including its own shopping courtyard.
tunning hand-painted silk panels and exquisite Thai sculptures greet you upon arrival creating a mood of calm elegance. Upon checking in, why not kick back and soak in the tub for a while, and read your favourite publication. Then relax on the comfy triple bed while watching the news, or some of your favourite programs or movies on the 42-inch plasma screen TV. For lunch the next day, check out Biscotti. Designed by New York-based architect and designer Tony Chi, this is a contemporary Italian restaurant with an open-air kitchen. The pastas and pizzas that Chef Danio Aisassa creates are so good that youll be expecting those who serve you to be speaking Italian by meals end. For those fond of Japanese cuisine try Shintaro, which means new vision; its the hotels fun, contemporary and innovative sushi bar where chef Satoshi Sawada serves up sumptuous sushi, sashimi, noodle and tempura dishes with, of course, a unique variety of sake and Japanese beer. For dinner, try Madison, a Manhattan style steakhouse where Chef Anchalee Pongrungsit serves up excellent charcoalgrilled Kobe, Australian and Argentinean beef. You can also savour some fine Andaman seafood including lobster, jumbo king prawns, sea bass and Scottish salmon. And theres grilled milk fed veal chops, lamb chops and chicken, grass fed prime beef as well as barbequed pork ribs, all served with a wide selection of delicious sauces. A number of tasty desserts finish off the meal, all complemented by an extensive wine list, Cognac or Armagnac. And not to be outdone is The Spice Market, run by chef Supanut Khanarak. This eatery has won long been recognized as one of the best Thai restaurants in the country. It features dishes from the four regions of Thailand, but focuses on fare from the central region serving an array of chicken, fish, pork and beef dishes as well as a variety of Thai fruits, desserts and Thai wine. Aqua, the hotels stylish garden bar is an exquisite open-air dining and cocktail venue specializing in appetizer-sized snacks from around the world and innovative ice-cream presentations. Its the only bar in Bangkok to serve the renowned Munich beer, Paulaner Weizen, served ice cold in special glasses. The citys best martinis, ice-cold lemonade and freshly squeezed juices complete the extensive a-la-carte menu. For breakfast, if you are staying for two nights I suggest eating at the Executive Club one morning and the next day, stay in bed and order from an exquisite room service menu. Read the morning paper and if you have a suite facing the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, watch the horse races, or even the Skytrain quietly whiz by your window in Blade Runneresque fashion. Every Sunday from noon to 3:00pm, Madison, the Spice Market and Aqua Bar, all situated close to one another in the hotels Parichart Court, play host to a fabulous brunch. Feasting stations include New Zealand jumbo oyster, fish roe, shabu shabu, French foie gras, freshwater crayfish and assorted varieties of imported cheese. Make sure you take some time to lounge by the pool. The Terrace offers all the usual by- the-pool treats like pizza, burgers, club sandwiches and spaghetti as well as an assortment of juices, shakes and coffees. Even though you are surrounded by highrises the foliage and cabanas surrounding the pool will have you feeling you are sunbathing in a beach resort in southern Thailand. Imagine that. Then to burn off some of those calories try the hotels Health Club & Spa and its state-of-the-art equipment ranging from Life Fitness Treadmills to Life Steps, Life Cycles, Cybex Bikes, Spin Bikes, Life Rowers, Cybex Strength Machines, Cardio-TV with individual headsets and even iPods to work out to. Theres also a steam room and Jacuzzi in each changing room.
