Work-Study Volunteers needed to help children in Thailand
Company/Organization: International Humanity Foundation
Description:
Volunteer Work-Study Opportunity in ThailandThe International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking, dynamic individuals of all ages/backgrounds to contribute to our children’s home in Chiang Rai, Thailand as part of our Voluntourist program. As a Voluntourist, you would gain hands-on experience with an international not-for-profit NGO at the ground level and contribute your time and talents to substantially helping provide better opportunities for young students.
You will complete four hours of at-center work a day. These tasks vary from day to day. In our children’s home in Thailand, daily tasks will include assisting with homework and organizing projects and activities for the children. You will also provide the co-Directors with needs-based assistance in the daily maintenance of the center, becoming a part of the IHF family and integral to the work we do.
This is an ideal opportunity to gain firsthand experience in international development, but still have time to explore a new place and culture. Our Thailand center is in the vicinity of incredible temples, waterfalls and scenery. You will have plenty of time to visit these incredible settings, but work must remain a priority. By both volunteering and sightseeing, you will have a unique experience, and hopefully you will leave our center with a better understanding of your surroundings and IHF as an organization.
Voluntourists stay at least 2 weeks. We provide basic accommodation and food at our centers, where you will live with your co-workers. Unfortunately, as a nonprofit, we are unable to provide these amenities freely and we charge a minimal cost of $150 per week. We are not able to cover travel or insurance expenses or any other related costs, but we will help you with your travel and visa planning.
Qualifications:
Candidate Qualifications: You must be fluent in written and spoken English. We value volunteers who are creative and innovative, willing to take responsibility and easily adapt to new conditions and unexpected situations. Each IHF center is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country. So must our staff. Our volunteers must have high intercultural sensitivity and be tolerant to different views and ways of life.
