The results indicate that the university students gained a better understanding of "sacrifice for the common good" and developed a "good relationship with each other", which contributes to the broader goal of a peaceful and just society.
Caveat

The most significant caveat for this project is its short duration. The camp only lasted for five days, from June 3-7, 2025. While the project was successful in achieving its short-term goals—such as promoting a sense of social responsibility among university students and providing a positive experience for the school children—its limited timeframe means it could not address or solve the deep-seated issues of educational and social inequality that the targeted community faces. The positive results are based on the immediate impact of a brief intervention, not a sustained, long-term change.

Impact Level
Impact

Impact on Students: Both the university and school students who participated in the camp "developed their potential according to the indicators". They achieved a passing score of more than 70%. University students, in particular, gained a deeper understanding of the "cultural differences of ethnic groups" and learned how to apply their knowledge of English and other academic subjects to help a community. They also developed a stronger sense of "social responsibility" and an understanding of "sacrifice for the common good".
Impact on the Community: The project was an act of "social service" that helped the students at Ban Mae Maem School, who are part of an ethnic minority group and lack "sustainable, equal living conditions". The project also fostered "good relationships" within the organizing institution and benefited the community by "focusing on developing the potential of the students"
