We want to get money to development a mini farm for children

About

Little Fields, the first place in Pattaya, Thailand that we aim to be a truly natural space as a little farm created especially for children to experience and learn. We highly hope that will be a place where children could be connected to the nature and learn how to live their lives sustainably. All the area we would create accordingly to the thought of King Rama IX about ‘sufficient economy’ in order to remembrance and to keep the powerful, thoughtful, and valuable to our next generation.

Why?

Nature-deficit disorder is the idea that human beings, especially children, are spending less time outdoors, and the belief that this change results in a wide range of behavioral problems. Richard Louv has stated "nature-deficit disorder is not meant to be a medical diagnosis but rather to serve as a description of the human costs of alienation from the natural world".

While nature deficit disorder is unrecognized by the medical and research communities, researchers have suggested that exposure to nature may be important to good health. Researchers also report positive impacts upon mental health and wellbeing associated with natural environments, and that nature exposure can reduce sadness and negative emotions. Some people argue that humans have an instinctive liking for nature—the biophilia hypothesis—and take steps to spend more time outdoors, for example in outdoor education, or by sending young children to forest kindergartens or forest schools.

What we need to get started.

It costs $15,000 to transform an empty acre into a working farm. The ground needs to be tilled. Fencing, irrigation, water supply system, electricity system a veggie prep station, farm animals shed and natural kitchen station need to be installed. Our farm structures, including tool shed, mini rice field and mud playground need to be built. So much goes into creating the infrastructure that will support the farm for years to come, also we (the founders) are under moderate economic to have enough money to build this project up. But all have strong attention to helps raise our children who is the next generation to have a better and balanced life, and this is where we need your help!
