“It’s important because you come from very far away and you try to connect with local communities- those that cannot speak English. But we can connect- that is very beautiful.”
This week we sat down with Decha Premrudeelert, a community organizer in Northeast Thailand and a long-term mentor of ENGAGE and the CIEE Thailand program and talked with him about our Support Community Rights: Mining Justice Campaign. In the video Decha shares his ideas about the ENGAGE network and the importance of international exchange. Decha was a member of the pro-democracy student movement in Thailand in the 1970’s and has worked alongside people in the region ever since. The wisdom of teachers like Decha has inspired the ENGAGE network since its creation and we are grateful for his continued support of the Support Community Rights: Mining Resistance Campaign.
