Description

Volunteers will work in an orphanage assisting children with various activities including games, sports, teaching, hygiene & education. You will also assist the local staff with helping them in administration work wherever possible. The orphanage serves a total of 70 children and is located in both Bangkok and Kanchanaburi. Our volunteers are responsible for organizing and building new sports (volleyball, soccer, kickball, etc.), games, music, computers etc.

Highlights

Volunteers don't necessarily need caregiving experience. All we ask is that you come with energy, enthusiasm, an open mind and an open heart. With little staff to organize recreational activities for the children, we ask the volunteers to organize activities such as sports, educational exercises, or arts and crafts. With little resources at the orphanages, it helps if the volunteer can bring educational resources, art supplies, or tapes with children's songs. This program is open as short as two weeks to six months.

Qualifications

Volunteers must be 18 years or older at the beginning of the program. Volunteers need to have an open mind and flexible attitude for working in a new and different environment. Volunteers should be proficient in written and spoken English.
