Dutch researcher, Thai youth trainer on mission to save environment degradation LEHRAGAGA (Sangrur): After spreading awareness about the organic farming through his documentary 'Toxic Tears', Dutch researcher Tom Deiters is visiting various parts of Asia to apprise people especially the schoolchildren about the after effects of deforestation. A nature lover, Tom, 35, is working like an Ambassador for saving the climate change, environmental pollution. He, along with Thailand girl, Om Sunisa Jamwset is looking for solutions and actions to be taken to help and care for nature. Be it remote areas of Thailand, Sri Lanka, the mighty Himalayas, both are out to provide nature based education to youth and children naming the project as 'Climate Change school tour Asia'. Presently they are in Punjab and are interacting with the school children in the area of Lehragaga, place having seen many farm suicides due to debt and the area of focus in his documentary. Tom and Om, as both preferred to be named as, have formed NGO Next Gen Oceania & Asia, Gaia School Asia. "We are on our journey to the Himalaya and we are providing nature based education to youth and children along our journey from Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal and Bangladesh", said Tom, who is Masters in international relations, global agri business.

He had also tried to highlight how the MNCs are targeting even the small farmers in making them use its products. "We are holding workshops and are teaching at local schools in different areas about climate change, pollution, deforestation and all other problems nature is facing. We also try to find solutions and actions we can take to help and care for nature", said Om Sunisa, who is a teacher and youth empowerment trainer. Sunisa, 33, teaches how to design eco houses and village in Thailand and more than 600 students are working under her stewardship. We hope to continue to do so and bring awareness about our changing climate and the importance of nature to children in Asia, said Om Sunisa. I found that after teaching children in Thailand most of them got understood of global warming and climate change and they felt strong need to plant trees and this is what we wanted elsewhere in Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh. We decided to also start the "1000 Trees Campaign" in which we will plant 1000 trees with the children we have been teaching, she said. When Tom meets Om During one of his sojourns to Thailand while working for climate change and to get training for eco village design education in February 2012, Tom Deiters happens to visit the Wongsanit Ashram at Ongkhark village of Siam in Thailand, which is at about two hour journey from Bangkok. Om Sunisa was living there for about 7 years while teaching eco village design. Tom met Om at the Ashram, actively involved in many community projects and known in Thailand for simple living and for engaging in social action, spiritual practice. Both felt strong connection for each other and started working together for climate change. Both said it was like a spiritual meeting and we decided to take it for long. Tom said it Om made me to meet many activists there in Thailand and we decided to spread awareness about planting trees.
