Hey,

I am searching for agriculture-based social development projects and schools in South Asia. I am a very active (volleyball, running bouldering) and social person (+almost TEFL certified).

Description

Hi!!!☺️

My name is Monique (she/her), I am a 23 year-old Dutch girl. I graduated in International Studies (with a specialisation in South and Southeast Asia) last spring and have decided to volunteer at social developmental/ agricultural projects and schools in South Asia.

I love learning about other cultures and languages. I am interested in learning Mandarin, Indonesian, Malaysian, Korean, German and Tamil. But always open to get interested in other languages. Additionally, I really like to experience new ways of life. Especially ways that are close to nature. Trying my best to limit my carbon footprint, while still experiencing life is very important to me, if I can even say that having flown to Asia.

I also really enjoy being outside and I cannot get enough of mountains, rivers, waterfalls and forests. One of my favourite things to do while traveling is hiking. Additionally, I play volleyball, squash, I like to go bouldering, reading, raving at festivals and dancing.

Previously, I have volunteered at a village for intellectual disabled guys in India, a Burmese refugee school in Thailand, a Chinese daycare in Malaysia, a hostel and olive orchard in Portugal. In the Netherlands, I have worked in a livestock farm, elderly care, many restaurants, at a variety of help desks, festivals and nightclubs.
