Mekong Riverbank Network

What is Mekong Riverbank Network?

This is a network of youngsters for friendship in the Mekong River Basin, inspired by the UNESCO's Project called "Sowing Seeds of Peace in the Mekong River Basin" (January 2005).

Key persons from such organizations like "Save the Mekong Coalition", "Mekong Peace Journey" or "Mekong River Commission" are encouraged to join the network, so are those who live along the Mekong River, who care about peace, who have travel experience in such programs like SSEAYP (by Japanese and ASEAN governments) or the "Lancang-Mekong River Youth Friendship Voyage" (by China and GMS countries) or just travel along Mekong River by themselves.

We hope to so something small to remind ourselves and our community that people who drink the same source of water should together do something to protect it, and share it with each other.
