Info in Thai

• Our work centers on rural homestays. We have selected thirty target schools in rural provinces to work with. These schools have agreed to provide food and accommodation to our volunteers in exchange for their teaching in the classroom 3-4 hours per day.

Volunteers get a Western style house, a proper bed, bathroom, and three fine Thai meals a day. You will either live with a Thai family or have your own house in the community … (Projects 1/2).

• … La FAML est, aux yeux de beaucoup, devenue le mouvement laïque par excellence, celui qui existe concrètement sur le terrain, qui vise une audience large, qui fait vivre la laïcité au quotidien, qui entretient des rapports avec les autorités communales, avec les groupes de base.

• Etre laïque, c’est se réjouir des «ifférences (compatibles avec la dignité humaine – le fasciste et le totalitaire sont aussi différents), des sensibilités diverses, enrichissantes pour les uns et les autres, mais ce n’est pas s’en tenir là … (texte entier Valeurs de la FAML /Le pluralisme dans l’engagement).
