          During two weeks in Thailand,we had learnt and got new experiences,knowledges,environment and new insights.We had many challenges what is happening everything,and everywhere in the world.We had a chance to learn human rights,education system,political situation,culture,economic,historical knowledge and border country situations in Thailand.We had learnt about many different organizations or communities,Thai Peace Foundation,Forum Asia in Thailand and AAPP(Assistance Association for Political Prisoners),Youth Connect and TBC(The Border Consortium),what are they working for.
Thailand is monarchy country and ruled by military currently.There are many international schools and universities that students from all around the world come to Thailand.There are many education foundations for Myanmar refugees and migrant workers.I had got a chance to observe in one of the education foundations, “Youth Connect Foundation”,which is in Mae Sot,Thailand and Myanmar border.We had a time to share our knowledge and experience to each other.Thai culture is quite closed to Myanmar.Thai people are mostly polite and respect to elder.

We also went to Myawady “Friendship Bridge”,and local market,Myanmar and Thailand border,which is in Mae Sot,Thailand.Many people from Myanmar and Thailand use Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge for official crossing.But there are many people who still cross the river even it is illegal.We had  seen economic situations of the border.

We had to divided into four groups and made a presentation for each group,as facilitators and also as participants.We had learnt that what should a facilitator have and what are the real difficulties of a facilitator.We had to learn new insights and inspirations from this trip,that made me to think about what is “Active Citizenship ”,and what are they doing.Now,I can find the result,it's just “Act Local,Think Global”
