Village Project: Tung Katigan

On Friday the GVI team paid a visit to the rural village of Tung Katigan, found in the Khao Yai sub district of Ao Luk. This small quiet village has a particularly beautiful setting with mountains (rolling ones as opposed to the sharp limestone ones found throughout much of Ao Luk), and lots of trees, lakes and streams. The village itself does not have their own school or temple but utilizes that in the neighboring village of Khao Lawm where the GVI team will be paying a visit once school opens up again mid-May.

GVI's team of volunteers and staff joined together with the community of Tung Katigan to clean up the area around the local community center, lake and one of the village main roads. They picked up trash, swept and several of the village's leaders worked to clean up the trees and leaves from the side of the roads.

After cleaning up the area, everyone joined together for a picnic under the trees and next to the lake. The community brought along locally made chicken and fish curry and rice and the GVI team brought along their own collection of sandwiches, salads and fruit. It tasted great after a morning of hard work.
