Información Detallada
| Background | Ubon Ratchatani is one of the main cities of the Isan region, in the North East of Thailand, close to the borders with Cambodia and Laos. If it remains among the most traditional areas of the country, it is also the poorest and less developed part in terms of infrastructure or industry; creating a huge rural exodus and migration from the Isan inhabitants to Bangkok. The Khueang Nai District administration, in cooperation with Pitaya Suwan Foundation, wants to dynamics the Ban Thai rural areas and stimulates English learning through the Volunteers’ presence. | |
| Work | The volunteers will animate English language courses and workshops in the local primary and secondary school for the children of a village in the Ban Thai district and renovate (painting, fixings…) the playground of the school. | |
| Study theme | The volunteers will learn about the culture of rural Thailand in general and the traditions and specificity of the Isan region. Thai language lessons will also be given to the volunteers. | |
| Leisure Time | Leisure time will be organised by the volunteers with the support of the camp-leader. The closest city is far but accessible. The region isn’t very tourist attractive as such but the nature is of extraordinary beauty: rice fields, small temples and natural parks are all over the region. | |
| Accommodation | The Volunteers will be hosted in a traditional Isan house in the community and have access to the same basic conditions as any villager. Cooking and cleanings will be done by volunteers themselves. Sleeping bags required. | |
| Location | The Ban Thai sub-district area is about 30 Km fare from Kueng Nai city and 60 Km north west of Ubon Ratchatani city, in the Isan region, North east of Thailand. More information about the province: http://www.thailandguidebook.com/provinces/ubon_ratcha.html | |
| Terminal | Bus, train and national airport: Ubon Ratchatani | |

Special Requirement |
A correct level of English language and the will to teach it to kids is obviously necessary. The volunteers need also to be motivated to discover Thai culture and to present the one of their country of origin. | |
