Volunteering in Thailand
September 01, 2016by: Geneva Leong - United StatesThe orphanage, foundation, teaching for both conservation and teaching children, and the beach cleans were the best parts of each program. I wish that with conservation we could actually be making moves towards more sustainable fixes at the turtles and with helping the national park.
Good experience with friendly team
February 01, 2019by: Herve - FranceI work for car company. I came during my holidays to change my mind. I have not any expectations regarding career...nevertheless, good experience with friendly team. To me, not enough time with turtles.
Amazing time with GVI
March 13, 2019by: Caitlin - United StatesI had the most incredible time doing the Coastal Conservation Internship with GVI Phang Nga. The accommodations, the community, the other volunteers, and the staff were amazing. I felt beyond comfortable and supported throughout the entire program, but I also knew that I was actively making a difference and given the opportunity to contribute and grow. Our relationship with the local community was so positive, and GVI staff did a great job of briefing us on cultural customs and logistics from the beginning of our stay.
