About the project

Ban Pru Nai School Workcamp

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Koh Yao is a Muslim island in the Andaman sea of South Thailand. Since it started to become a tourist attraction, there have been some big changes in the local communities\' lifestyle. The villagers started to move from fishing and agriculture to tourism industry-related work. People realized slowly the dangers of losing their friendly sufficient communities and environment issues are rising quickly. During these 2 weeks, volunteers will join Ban Prunai schools, it is the primary and high school to help to organize activities with kids and take part in the realities of the local population. This way we hope to get more mutual understanding between the local population and the international communities and make a small step in a better direction for all of us.

💼 What the programme involves

1. Give non-formal English classes and other fun activities with the students 2. Create teaching materials for teacher and kids 3. Voluntary service activities with the community **Activities proposed above can be adjusted according to the current incidents of sudden, possible unavailability of project matters, weather condition, etc. We\'ll keep you updated 1 month or 2 weeks before the camp starts** ** You will be supervised by a DaLaa coordinator who will be the link between the volunteers\' team and the local schools. The school director can also speak good English. ** ** We will try to mix Thai volunteers and international from different countries but we cannot guarantee it. We will keep you informed during and after your application.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will sleep in meeting room of school. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag, foldable mat with you. There are basic toilets, showers and a kitchen at the school canteen. The teachers and villagers will help the volunteers to cook. Local people eat rice (or noodles) 3 times a day with side dishes like curries, omelets, local leaves and vegetables. Volunteers will be welcome to cook their own food using the ingredients available there. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans).

⚠️ Requirements

Volunteers should be ready to stay in a local area, to adapt to the local conditions with only basic facilities. Very few local people are able to speak in English. Volunteers should be able to be with the kids and prepare some games and material for teaching.
