To run a project, we need to:
-
purchase the instruments:
4 Lanna guitars (Sung - ซึง) = 13.000THB
4 Lanna violins (Slor - สะล้อ) = 12.000THB
1 drum (Khlong Phong - กลองป่งโป้ง) = 4.000THB
1 finger cymbal (Ching - ฉิ่ง) = 500THB
1 cymbal (Chaap- ฉาบ) = 500THB
SUBTOTAL: 30.000THB
-
cover our teacher's costs
40 weeks X 500THB= 20.000THB
TOTAL COST: 50.000THB/project
(= approx. 1.150EUR/1.550USD)
These educational programmes aim at encouraging traditional arts within Thai middle schools, orphanages, schools for the blind, hospitals, prisons, NGO's.
We provide a group of 10-12 children with weekly lessons (for a year) as well as offer them all the music instruments; along with future opportunities to perform at our different events/concerts.
Outreach projects
On the one hand, these projects allow us
to preserve the Thai patrimony by ensuring
transfer of traditional knowledge.
On the other hand, they help us financially support local teachers and instrument makers.
But most of all, they provide a group of disadvantaged children with an incredible learning opportunity for a whole year.
