Description
Dear Valunteers,
I am a parent living with my 13 year old daughter near a quiet town of Thongphaphum, Kanchanaburi Province, in the tropical environment. I am looking for someone who can help my daughter in discovering her interests, exploring new skills. This is not formal schooling but playful supportive way for my daughter to learn at her own pace.
Our home is relaxed and surrounded by nature, ideal for volunteers who enjoy slow living and cultural exchange. Volunteers with kids are welcome.

We are located about 4 km from the small town of Thongphaphum, so having transport is useful. If a motorbike is available, you are welcome to borrow it to get around or it's possible to rent one locally.
During your free time, you are welcome to explore on your own. Near by attractions include temples, the market 4 km away, there are waterfalls and hot springs about 20 km and a park at the dam 8 km away, which is a peaceful spot that's good for walking and running. There is also a swimming pool near the market that I usually visit almost every week - You are welcome to join.
I go to the local market a few times a week and you are wlecome to come along. Sometimes we can also go out together to explore the hot springs, eat out or visit nearby attractions.
Our home is relaxed and natured-connected, so volunteers should be comfortable with a simple, peaceful lifestyle. We enjoy spending time together but also respect personal space, giving you plenty of freedom to explore or relax.
