Teaching
You will see the real Thailand with local people in countryside. You can learn Thai language, Thai culture. I like cooking and I am good cook so you also can have cooking lesson with me too.
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Ideally I would like my helper(s) to devide their time between helping me in the house and garden and helping 5 -12 year old students learn English at the local school where my husband works. The volunteers will be assisting the teachers.
However, depending on your skills/interests and the time of year you are here, I am happy for you to only help at home or the school. Helpers who enjoy gardening and/or teaching would be suitable candidates for this exchange.
