Description

Volunteer in Thailand with disadvantaged Burmese children. Improve the lives and opportunities for Burmese Children in Thailand.

Highlights

This center gives the chance to Burmese children to have access to education that is denied to them.

In Thailand, Burmese migrants (both children and adults) face very difficult situations, as they do not have legal citizenship in Thailand nor are they recognized as bona fide citizens of Burma. Things as simple as owning a mobile phone or driving a car are not allowed for Burmese migrants.
Burmese children are also unable to attend school in the Thai education system.

The volunteers on this program will help in a special center set up for Burmese children.

WAVA's Mission Statement

WAVA's Responsible Travel policy is its mission statement. It's not an ideology. It is not a cast-iron set of rigid guidelines and procedures. Rather, it is a spectrum of principles and concepts that promote co-operation and learning not only by those in the London office, but also with all other parties involved - travellers, partners and host communities - ensuring each can mutually benefit. We do our best to understand our travellers' needs, responsibly preparing them to have great experiences, and we produce content that accurately informs our travellers of what they can expect to encounter when abroad.
