  Description

  We are a Catholic social center that has spent more than 20 years assisting ethnic minorities in Northern Thailand. All of the staff is local, except the director who is a missionary priest from Italy. Teenagers, mostly from the minority tribes of the Hill Tribes, are housed in the center. The center wants everyone, regardless of race or religion, to have access to education. The teenagers don't have to travel far each day to attend public school in Chaehom by living at the facility.
  
  In the center we opened a small coffee shop in order to offer scholarships to kids.
  
  We prefer to work with enthusiastic and open-minded volunteers, people with prior workaway project experience, and hosts,To apply for our project, you must be at least 25 years old, and we need one or two volunteers at a time. The missionaries can be extremely busy, therefore the volunteer needs to be self-sufficient and able to communicate with the local staff.
  More than just a place to stay, our Missionary Center is a small family that will welcome you and enjoy its everyday activities with you. That is a memory from life that will last a lifetime.
  
  (Please keep in mind that we have to create a culturally respectful environment, we kindly request that volunteers dress in a manner that is not overly westernized (including short pants for example). Our aim is to maintain a harmonious atmosphere that respects the traditions and customs for the children, our team and the Thai people. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this regard.)

  Autres infos...

  Our place is located in a countryside area surrounded by rice fields and mountains in Chaehom, 50 km far from Lampang. The surrounding of the center is very safe, so the volunteer can go for runs/walks outside the center, in the rice fields. We also have an indoor gym with some treadmills. Some of the workers enjoy doing aerobics in the evenings after work, they will be happy if you join them. Moreover, there are always buses going to Lampang (approx. 1 hour), and from there you can take a bus/minivan to any other city in the North (you can get to Chiang Mai in three hours from Chae Hom). From the center, you can easily reach Wat Phraphutthabat Pu Pha Daeng, which is very beautiful and the most famous touristic spot in ChaeHom. ChaeHom is a nice, little town, with local shops, a market, and a 7-11, and a Tesco Lotus.
