  Description

  The Foundation's primary mission is to provide free English and French lesson to children mountainous region of Phu Chi Fa.
  
  We are an association and language project that was set up to give children the chance to live the life they want to lead. Starting out as a short term rental and English tutoring in Chiang Mai, the project grew and the Hmong community of Phu Chi Fa asked me to come and help the local children with their English. I'm now based in the region to help the community and in particular the children, to give them the chance to choose between the hard life in the fields and studying to get out of poverty.
  
  
  The foundation needs all the goodwill wanting to have a positive impact on the world.
  To do this, the foundation opens its doors to an international aid platform.
  As the project is mainly aimed at helping children, the foundation reserves the right to make a rigorous and careful selection.
  
  
  Currently; the foundation provides English lessons to more than 150 children's villagers per week as well as classes for adults occasionally throughout the Phu Chi Fa area and Chiang Mai. The foundation offers cultural and educational outings for children by encouraging excellence and openness to the world.
  
  The foundation can accommodate up to six volunteers spread across several villages to teach on site and willing to explore the online teaching to remote village.
  
  Two weeks minimum to stay with us but the foundation reserves the right to shorten the stay if the conditions are not respected.
  
  Don't hesitate to follow us on our YouTube channel as well as to talk about it around you to support us for those who cannot travel but want to make their contribution to our gofundme.

  The project is looking for help to give English lessons at weekends and after school for kids in between 5 and 18.
  The lessons can be given alone or in groups, but usually by pairs. We are also give online lesson vis (Zoom)to remote children that could not have the means of transportation to come to our location.
  
  During the week, depending on the volunteer's wishes, help can be provided for the association's projects, otherwise he/she is free to enjoy the surrounding area: hiking, camping, picking in the fields, etc.
  The main place where classes are taught has a large classroom and can accommodate six volunteers around.

  Hébergement

  I have two private bedrooms with indoor bathroom, and one large room that could be share, we can provide sleeping space around the place. We have 7 acres of fence property
  
  The association is not for profit, so the rental of the classroom area, school materials, the rental of the room for the volunteers and transport are all costs for the association.
  
  In order to contribute to these costs, and in view of the accessibility of food, Nadine is offering you a flat rate of 5€/day to contribute to the association's costs by taking care of your dinner only.

  Autres infos...

  To get there, we are 14 miles from downtown Chiang Mai, Thailand.
  
  A little practical advice: having your own means of transport allows you to move around freely, otherwise a solution will always be found if you want to get around.
  
  
  Please note that our location is in the remote area and the food is from local farms. This request is purely ethical, so that the association does not have any extra costs due to the volunteers and so that the donations go directly to the children.
  
  The foundation has already been able to support many volunteers from all over the world by offering room and board and immersing themselves in local life so here some practical informations:
  
  -Very independent and radiant spirits are called
  
  -The foundation declines all responsibility in the event of loss, theft or incidents outside the areas reserved for workawayers
  
  - Please remember that we only teach in the evenings on weekdays and about 5 hours on week end, you are required to organize your day if we don't offer you anything
  
  -Laundry is included in the price (not the powder)
  
  -Breakfast and lunch are at your expense (40 bath for lunch at restaurant)
  
  -A large container of water is available in the kitchen if you are thirsty (Beers , cokes and water bottles are chargeable)
  
  -Remember to have enough money to pay for your stay the day before departure.
  
  -Gasoline is expensive, we try to centralize and optimise our trips between the small town and the village if you have significant needs, please be aware
  
  -You may be asked for an emergency number to contact your family
  
  -We can do vegetarian meals
  
  -Don't forget that you are in a remote village, the days start early and people go to bed quite early
  
  
  And most important bring your positive energy, enjoy and be open to differences and village mentalities, don't judge, leave your Western conceptions, you are in a unique place ^^

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi Workaway permet-il à certains hôtes de facturer des frais ?

  
  

  Workaway offre des opportunités d'échanges culturels non pécuniaires où les hôtes fournissent le logement et la nourriture en échange de l'aide des workawayers. Dans certains cas exceptionnels, des frais ou une demande de don (généralement pas plus de 5 dollars par jour) peuvent être approuvés pour des hôtes tels que les associations caritatives ayant un historique de feedbacks positifs de la part des bénévoles. Toute somme versée doit aller directement à l'organisation caritative et ne peut être utilisée que pour couvrir les frais de nourriture des bénévoles. Cela sera clairement indiqué sur le profil de l'hôte.
  

  Les annonces provenant d'agents, ou autre type d'intermédiaires, ainsi que les projets qui semblent faire des bénéfices grâce au séjour d'un bénévole sont strictement interdits. Tous les frais doivent être discutés et approuvés au préalable par l'équipe Workaway.

  5$ per day for dinner
