Overview:
We hope this information helps you understand the volunteer work here better! If you have any questions, free to ask:)
1.Helping Hours:
Volunteers are required to commit to 18-20 flexible help hours per week. We will try to schedule this on weekends and specific weekdays, ensuring that each volunteer has at least 3 full days to freely explore Chiang Mai.
2.Help Content:
Duties include teaching adult English, organizing children’s games, conducting craft activities, outdoor camp activities, and temple volunteering. Assignments will be randomly distributed based on our needs.
3.Accommodation:
Volunteers will share rooms with 3-4 people, equipped with air conditioning and hot water. The dormitory is similar to a youth hostel with bunk beds.
Volunteers are responsible for cleaning the common areas, including the bathrooms and dormitory, and must take bed linens, pillowcases, and blankets to the laundry upon checkout.
There’s a large trash bin at the entrance downstairs.Everyone should regularly check and clean the trash and dispose of it in the big bin to prevent attracting mice and ants.
4.Food:
Generally, no meals will be provided, and volunteers will need to handle their own meals. A shared kitchen and refrigerator are available, with supermarkets and local markets just a 1-2 minute walk away. We will provide lunch on weekends and occasionally host international group dinners.
5.Transportation:
To reach the school, volunteers need to download Grab or Bolt in advance. The school is located about 12 kilometers from the city center, and volunteers can take a yellow songthaew from the opposite side of the road.
6.Dress:
While living on the third floor of the school, please do not hang clothes outside the door or on the balcony. Attire is flexible when not interacting with students, but when helping with them, please dress appropriately, avoiding tank tops and very short shorts.
7.No Smoking:
Smoking is not allowed in the school area.
8.Electricity:
Electricity is expensive in Thailand. Volunteers are expected to conserve energy by turning off lights, fans, and air conditioning when leaving. Failure to respect our shared environment may result in termination of your placement.
9.Kitchen:
equipped with a washing machine and basic condiments. The washing machine is available for use, but volunteers will need to bring their own laundry detergent.If you would like to cook, we provide basic condiments such as salt and oil, as well as dishes and cutlery. Please make sure to clean and return them to their original places after use,plus cleaning the kitchen trash.
Important reminder: Pay attention to gas safety!
10.Bathroom:
Clean the bathroom we share taking out the trash,Clean the hair off the bathroom drain when ever you shower,and push the water into the drain.Types of help and learning opportunities
