Campers and Trainers Say ”The camp made me more confident in myself it helped me to find the real true me. I now know what I want to do in my life and how I can use my abilities in my life for a better future.” - Ghom from Thailand Former camper, now camp leader ”My favorite thing about OMP is the learning style, learning by doing, because now I know how to learn for myself. Before, I don’t know my future, what I want to do, OMP helps me to know what I do in the future. Now I have many ideas” - Moe from Myanmar Former camper, now camp leader and mentor “I came to OMP because I wanted to improve my life, so I can get a better job not work at the factory all my life. And that’s why here I am!” - Joiy from Laos Former trainees, now working in a superior hotel
Volunteers Say ”I am very impressed with the staff and trainees at Openmind Projects. Each of them was committed to their work and handled their responsibilities professionally. Outside of work, the staff took care of us splendidly!” - Bella, Volunteer from India
”As a volunteer i was lucky enough to have participated in 3 camps. The OMP camps are a great way for underprivileged youths to learn and bond. The skills and knowledge acquired, and not forgetting the friendships forged is eternity.” - Shona, Volunteer from Singapore
”I have been in awe at the how much children can learn in one week at our camps. They arrive as caterpillars and after a week in the camp cocoon, they depart as butterflies!” - Mike Fulton, Volunteer from USA
