Dear Friends,

On the beautiful morning of April 4, our team proudly celebrated the graduation of 12

SENS 2026 students in a small town in Ratchaburi province, Thailand. For many of us, saying goodbye was not easy after such a profound three-month journey together. Tears were shared, as deep connections had been formed throughout the program. As a team, we feel incredibly grateful to have witnessed the growth of all participants — not only in their English, but also in how they care for one another and engage with the larger issues facing our world. In this historically challenging time, that kind of growth gives us real hope. We believe they will carry forward what they have learned from SENS 2026 and continue their work with confidence and compassion.

On 24 April 2026, the INEB Child Protection Team warmly welcomed Venerable Bhikkhu Kotte Upananda from the Sri Lanka Network of Engaged Buddhists (SriNEB) to Chiang Mai. His visit was inspired by a deep interest in community-based social engagement and the work of INEB members supporting children and youth in Northern Thailand.

From 15 March to 5 April 2026, Yuwapothichon Camp “Dek Nok Camp” brought together a diverse group of young people from across Thailand for 21 days of transformative, experience-based learning. Rooted in the principle of “living, learning, and growing together,” the camp created a space for youth aged 15–21 to explore life questions, discover alternative learning pathways, and deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
