Our institute is expanding E.E method for newly officials in the community development department of ministry of interior in Thailand.

Today, our first trial of E.E for new officers’ training went very enjoyable and we saw officials became more motivated and empowered by sharing thoughts and their changes! Among all the officers, they chose one CHAMPION officer and the room became very emotional that MC was in tears!

From the experiences of Thailand as well as other projects, we would like to make a continuous efforts on D-HOPE, E.E and other rural development issues in 2020 too! We hope to provide more materials and readings too.
