Thailand Orphanage Volunteers

Trip code: THVO

Most large orphanages in Thailand have their own primary (and secondary) school for the pupils, the school is also open for underprivileged families. The orphanage provides housing, food and teaching materials for less fortunate students. You’ll need un-faltering enthusiasm, a creative personality and a willingness to be constantly on the go! The rewards from this volunteer project are endless. You can spread happiness and also receive it from the laughter of the young people you are helping.

Programme highlights include:

  • Teaching English on a non formal basis
  • Working with the children in their vegetable garden (for their own consumption)
  • Creating activities for the students including workshops for cultural exchange
  • Art & Handicraft activities
  • Sports after classes
  • Environmental awareness activities (Clean Up the World)
  • Improving facilities at the Orphanage – particularly during school holidays time
