Thailand - 2014

Decemebr - January 2014

Taking advantage of an opportunity to combine learning with service, the Interior Design department at VCUQatar teamed up with service-learning Into the Wild to construct a teacher accommodation for the Karen hill tribe’s Muen Phem School in north of Chiang Mai, Thailand. With a generous sponsorship from Arab Engineering Bureau, it helped design and build a small house for a teacher; by completing it and having the house ready to be occupied, the department will continue to seek unique volunteer opportunities with the potential to coincide with its instructional goals in the future.
