About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Join the dream of a non-formal education center in a small fishermen village of the Andaman coast-South Thailand. From the teaching at local schools, English adults lessons in the evening at community learning center (SaLa) joining activities every Sunday in the mangrove, you will share the daily life of the villagers, absorbing their wisdom and spread it in your own way with fresh energy to the local kids. Realize also their difficulties and bring your rock for a better future at Kok Payom.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers can possibly do the activities as follows: • Create non-formal English classes at local schools • Create a place where local people and children can learn and become more aware of the importance of our environment (Alternative School –Klong Toh Lem) • To support some work for community base project (Masjid and Islamic learning centre) • Organize nature trips with children (awareness of the importance of nature) • Plant young seedlings in the mangrove forests (occasionally) • Organize fun and enjoyable activities to the village children at the village meeting place • Experience Thai Muslim culture, language and local lifestyle with the villagers and support in any useful activities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

- We will cook meals together with the host family, there is a lot of sea food, rice, vegetables. Because the family is Muslim, there will be no pork nor alcohol. - Volunteers will stay at the host house. The mosquito nets, pillows, blankets and mattresses are provided. The conditions are simple.

⚠️ Requirements

The volunteers should be ready to stay in a remote area, to adapt to the local conditions with only basic facilities and with few people able to speak in English. Volunteers should be able to handle spontaneous working environment and constant changes in the plans. The mentality and way of thinking is very different from the western world. There will have often activities with the children. To have responsibility for yourself, the kids and full involvement in community matters is a must. Villagers of Kok Payom are Muslim so there is no pork or alcohol in the village. Women should dress modestly although you will discover when you live there that the villagers are very relaxed.
