fundraising
Over the past couple of years, the students and teachers have started doing an increasing number of fundraising activities to supplement the program’s budget. Examples of these kinds of activities have been selling raffle tickets, making and selling Wide Horizons Organizational Development Program (WH) merchandise, arranging fundraising parties and organizing online fundraising campaigns. For several years in a row, the students and teachers have been able to raise enough funds through these activities to cover ¼ of the annual budget. Furthermore, these events and campaigns are a great experience for the students, who will be returning to organizations that are themselves often struggling in the current donor environment on the Thai-Myanmar border and inside Myanmar.
