Make use of this excellent internship opportunity to immerse yourself in the local Karen culture and gain valuable teaching experience. Interns will live and work in the mountainous area of northern Thailand, a region famous for its beautiful views, unique culture, and the elephant keeping hill tribes that reside here. Interns will help to significantly improve the English language knowledge of the villagers while gaining practical teaching experience. Spend your time at the local school teaching English and elephant conservation to children, lesson planning, and building relationships with the local teachers. You will also attend nursery and after school clubs to play with the younger children of the village and teach English to Mahouts and other adults in the evening. All GVI internships...

March 21, 2017by: Tamara - AustraliaDora has done a fantastic job with the home base, it's cozy, welcoming, and so much better than the last time I was there. Every thing is well organised, there has been so many improvements since she has been there and I can see that more are on their way.
Staff working here have also been great and super supportive and kind.
February 07, 2018by: MykaI've had loads of fun on the program, meeting new people and making many new friends. I also got great chances to work with the local community and help teach the local children. The staff working here have also been great and super supportive and kind.
I had an amazing and memorable experience with GVI.
March 11, 2018by: Azra - EnglandOverall, I had an amazing and memorable experience with GVI. Some slight minor issues aside and a few things i would suggest as improvements, the experience as a whole was incredible. The chance to dive in such an amazing location combined with the awesome staff and local community members really helped to make the internship with GVI one to remember and that I would highly recommend to others. I hope to be back soon one day!!
