Description
Sawasdee ka my dearest Volunteers :)
I'm Nammon. I love to see, how the kids think and talk on thier own way and it just like the best energy for my life, when I see HAPPY kids.
Sadly, Due to Thai education system, the kids could not be happy like they should. I have some experiences about kids and education from Germany, so I clearly told myself that I should make something for Thai kids to be (good and happy) kids. Finally I decided to start kind of Kid's club (since November 2017) "Kinder+Garten", so that the kids could learn from what they do, learn what to want to, learn how to be independent and the most important is to learn how to be happy :) My place is in Thungsong, Nakhonsithammarat (Southern part of Thailand)
Now I am looking to host English speakers who would like to travel to Thailand and would like free accommodation, food, and Thai lessons in exchange of helping with teaching young children in my pre-school for a few hours per day. My students are between 2 to 10 years old.
You will have your own bedroom and a chance to travel around Thailand with me, my friends, and my family.
If you love children and would like to experience Thai culture, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Teaching
Babysitting and creative play
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
During your stay here you will have chance to learn Thai language, Thai culture and learn how to cook Thai foods moreover you can travel around here such as Phuket, Krabi,Phangnga and my hometown Nakhonsithammarat.

We didn't spend much time with Nammon, because she was away, but Eye picked us up, treated us to dinner and showed us our room and was there the next day (Saturday) to introduce us to the school.
