Charity Work In Northern Thailand

[galwaygirl]

Hey, i was meant to be heading to Thailand this summer to work in a childrens home but it seems likely thats about to fall through as they're reconsidering having non Thai volunteers just for the moment due to unforseen circumstances. They're sending me on other organisations contact details but i just thought i should ask here to see if any of ye knew any that could do with some help. some places i've heard of only accept long term volunteers but due to work/academic committments i can only stay two months

There are a bunch of youngish 'volunteer' workers in the maeSot area (Myanmar Border/ Central Thailand) working with the refugee camps. Sorry I have no info on how to contact them.

Thanks for pointing this one out Brian.

They desperately need indigent children to reduce their over-capacity!

So anybody who has some needy kids on the shelves, please contact them!

You might get a bonus!

For those seeking an entree into volunteer work I suggest to have a look at this page:

It's Thai and thus it doesn't belong to the international developmental-help industry.

It's less about money than about helping.
