Description

There are various different childcare centers, most of which are just outside of Surin. They provide a safe place for those children with poor working parents. With monthly wages as low as £50 for an adult working on a farm this is an essential resource. Moreover, in many cases parents move to the cities to find work leaving grandparents to bring up the children. The use of the centers is a very welcome break to these people and therefore provides an essential service to the local community and you will soon feel that you are part of the community.

There can often be over 50 preschool children (up to 4 years old) at one time at the centers so your help is vital to ensure that the children are well looked after. You will assist the local staff in looking after the children during the day organizing games, activities, teaching short lessons and preparing food and you can also get involved with renovation and repair work at the centers which may include painting walls or renovating kitchens. Just a few hours a day can make such a difference. All of this work has a long term positive affect on the staff, the children, the families and the local community.
