Thailand Community School Building and Renovation

Thailand Community School Building and Renovation

Thai schools receive very little government funding and families in poor areas do not have the funds to support the schools which means they are often in need of restoration work. With over 1000 schools in the province of Surin there is much need for volunteer support and this is where you come in! You may be painting classrooms, renovating kitchens, or helping with gardens and play areas.
