Volunteer with the street children program in Thailand and work with disadvantaged children to positively change their lives forever. Surin is one of the most deprived areas in Thailand and the average income there is very low. This makes it very difficult for the parents to give their children the sort of facilities that parents other areas in Thailand take it for granted.
In order for the families to not fall further back, the centers will give children care, training, and the skills to make them confident to improve their chances of having a successful future. The volunteer abroad with street children program in Thailand participates with schools, orphanages, and other centers to help the children. Your time spend with these children and their families will be heart fulfilling. You will also have plenty of free time to explore the beauty and excitement of Thailand.
Role of Volunteer
When volunteering overseas with street children in Thailand, you will work from Monday to Thursday and you will have 3 days to travel around and enjoy the local culture and landscape. Working hours are from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm. During the project, volunteers will organize and play various games as well as exercises through which the children can learn and have fun. You can teach nursery rhymes to younger kids and tell popular stories to older kids. The volunteering with street children opportunity in Thailand also works to develop the physical health of the kids and volunteers will be participating in games.
Some of the centers are also in need of repairs and volunteers can also participate in renovation and repair work.
Skills and Qualifications Needed
No specific qualifications are required to volunteer abroad with street children in Thailand. However, your understanding of Thai culture and language can help improve the experience for both you and the children. You must also respect at all times the Thai people and culture.
