A Welcoming and Inspiring School

Volunteering in Phayao was the most meaningful and unforgettable experience of trip! From the moment I arrived, all the students and teachers made me feel incredibly welcome and supported. The school creates such a positive, encouraging environment where the kids are eager to learn and engage, and the teachers were so kind and helpful, always willing to answer my questions, share ideas, and make sure I felt comfortable in the classroom. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to volunteer here. It’s a place full of warmth and growth and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone thinking about joining as a volunteer.

I spent three weeks here as an English teacher, and it truly was the experience of a lifetime! It was a privilege to feel so welcomed and integrated into a real Thai community. From the very beginning, everything was clear and well explained by Hani, and everyone greeted me with so much warmth. All the teachers were kind and helpful, and the school director is such a sweet and caring person! She showed me around the beautiful surroundings of Chiang Kham and always made sure I was doing well and that everything was going smoothly. The kids will always stay in my heart — every hug they gave me and every step they made in learning English melted my heart. I highly recommend this experience to everyone, even if it’s your first time volunteering!

my wonderful kids!

Amazing experience

This experience has truly been fulfilling. Hani provided very clear and detailed information during our first contacts and both the director of the school and the entire teaching staff have been very welcoming and took good care of me. The kids of this community can really take advantage of practising English with foreigners so this opportunity has a real social impact. Plus, you get to live and eat as a local which can be really enriching! Thank you all! I hope I'll get to see you again sometime in the future! :)
