Khlong Khon, Thailand – January 2026 – Students in grades 7-9, together with teachers from the Primary and Secondary Education Department of Sarasit Phithayalai School, Ban Pong district, Ratchaburi province, participated in a summer camp and excursion to Ban Mai Chai Len, Khlong Khon, Samut Songkhram province. During the camp, themed “Green Minds, Bright Futures” and held on 24 and 25 January, the students took part in numerous activities. The highlight of the event was a volunteer activity during which the students planted mangrove trees.
