On September 9th the District Officer of Suan Phlu – Ratchaburi Province, along with other members of his office, visiting officials from other provinces, UNHCR, NGOs and refugees joined together in a planting ceremony to establish TBBC's latest initiative to plant bamboo around the refugee camps. The camp commander gave a speech to encourage the community to work together to nurture the environment and expand the green zone around the camp.

Bamboo Planting Ceremony

Under the guidance of an expert from Thammasart University, the project has selected 6 species of bamboo for the initial pilot. Bamboo plantations not only provide building materials but also protect the land from soil erosion and provide nutritious bamboo shoots for consumption. Depending on which species are well suited to the area, the project will be expanded in 2011 – and will also include other camps along the border.
