This VDO is about the core of Sangsan (changing the name from SAYDP to Sangsan). It's also about the scholarship project and the empowering training. Those are the scholarhip student's voice.

about Sangsan please following below;

Sangsan started in 2008 as a small life-skills and scholarship program, supporting students from indigenous communities (many of whom have no official citizenship in Thailand). These students are living far from home, living in boarding schools which makes theme extremely vulnerable to volatile environment in which they live. Sangsan works with these students to identify their needs, develop trainings consistent with their goals and topics of interest, and provides scholarships to those most at risk of of having to cease their education. Trainings involve everything based on Human Rights, Children Right, SOGIE, Women Right and the right of indigenous people. Students are given the space to explore their identities as indegenous youth and given the skills to stand up for to defend their right and fight discrimination.

The program currently works with over 400 youth from primary school to the university level. Since starting in 2008, the number of students graduating high has increase ten fold from 2 students to over 30. Once students graduate they are encouraged to pursue higher education through scholarship support. The majority of these students will use the skills they learned through SAY-DP (Sangsan) and at the university to go back to their communities and become NOGs, teachers, social workers, government officer etc.

The entire program is run by two full-time staff and multiple volunteers. The organizations depends on foreign donors but is always looking for more donations. Please keep an eye out for the website currently being created which will give you more information on how to donate.
