The organisation was founded in 2010.
We are the one of Social Impact member of Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and work with Thai Health Promotion Foundation.
So you can get good experience and certification of Volunteering as Teaching Assistant and also can have chance to learn how to run Social business from us too.
We also worked with many villages and focus on helping them to make local economic including tourism field so we will provide you the special trips maybe 1-2 times per month during this year. This is also the reason why we have to set up English development projects. Special and optional for our volunteers!
About the Program:
If you can speak and write English fluently, then you are the right person to join our volunteer program to teach English in Thailand. The idea of our program is "fun based". The main focus is teaching vocabulary lessons by using drawing or action tools. Secondary priority lesson (ideas) should be simple conversations.
Such as: How old are you ? What is your favorite pet?
These should be simple (questions) or (conversations) that the children will use (in their daily life). We’d like to give space and flexibility to our volunteers to use alternative forms of teaching, which they themselves will find fun and educational, and which will motivate Thai children to learn and speak English. We believe that “learning by playing” will give kids a better experience and eventually a better understanding of English, rather than teaching the “traditional way”. This idea is related to the school objectives set by the Thailand government.
We do not only focus on teaching English but English is a universal language, so if we are able to understand each other without a language barrier, we will all live in peace.
Alternative English Training Program with Village Development:
1. Global Citizen Classroom: We want to train our children or teenagers to be good global citizens. So the lessons you will teach in the classroom will include environmental conservation and global warming.
2. New Global Citizen Club: We have set up a club for Thai teenagers and working Thais who want to practice English and want to help you while you are here so that you can make new friends and have local experiences while you practice English with them.
3. INNO Club: Village Development: We have many partners all over Thailand and want you to get involved by volunteering, teaching or suggesting ideas and putting them into practice, such as solar cell systems for school farms, water systems for elephant houses, designing services and developing products for each village using local fruits, local knowledge, etc.
