Project Life
Volunteer with Children in Thailand

For the first three days volunteers will take part in an orientation to assist you with the very basics of teaching English and Thai language and culture. Trained GVI staff will provide you with the skills, resources and support you will need to undertake the project work and will be available at anytime throughout your stay. During your volunteering experience you will work in a nearby school teaching school children and/or assisting Thai English teachers.

The day always starts early, with a breakfast that normally consists of pancakes or rice porridge and helping with chores around base (if staying at GVI's base camp). Monday through Friday you will travel to local and rural schools to provide English lessons and activities for school children. In the evenings you will be responsible for making sure you are prepared for the next day of teaching.If staying at a home stay you will provide the same volunteer assistance as above based on the demands of the community.

The short term teaching project offers numerous incredibly exciting opportunities to its volunteers. As a participant you may have the opportunity to:

• Enjoy a unique Thai cultural adventure by immersing yourself in a traditional Thai community within a stunning tropical paradise, living and working alongside local people, and experiencing their culture, food and way of life
• Take the opportunity to learn some of the Thai language, which will be incredibly useful if you decide to continue travelling in the country
• Learn how to cook a number of tasty Thai dishes, including some regional favourites
• Explore some of the amazing beaches, islands, mountains and caves that the region has to offer in your free time
