BKK90210 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Angie……a very pretty name you have here With the avatar likes that, assume that’s you? Yes?....It shouldn’t be too difficult in finding “voluntary work” to fill your time. Just wear that exact same outfit, I’m sure lots of guys here will be happy to help you out. What a friends are for, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated. angie hi! when you chose to do something for animals vist one of these sites: http://www.soidogrescue.org/ http://www.samuidog.org/ http://www.soidog.org/ I also know that any help is demanded by visiting foreign prisoners. (plse no negative reactions about guilt etc. etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Your work permit is only for the employment and location specified in the book, not for other jobs, like volunteering. Take care. Edited March 22, 2006 by astral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Thanks Tony and Astral. I would be prepared to add to my work permit should i find something suitable with the time i have spare. I have thought about foreign prisoners but would really like to help the poor women and children, who so desperately need the help, but i would only do it through a reputable organisation. Again, any links or referals would be much appreciated. angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Cleary Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Howabout helping out at www.mercycentre.org run by Father Joe. The Mercycentre is based in the slums of Klong Tery. This very well-known foundation strives to help and assist street kids and their rights, provide relief and shelters to the needy and help local victims of AIDS and drug addiction etc.....

There are often no problems with volunteering IF <big if> the volunteer work you are doing is not taling a paying job from a Thai person. Technically it is illegal without a workpermit for the volunteer work you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_falang Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 What the heck? There are people in real need in Thailand and in this part of the world, why would you suggest donating time (money) to help soi dogs? Soi dogs are discusting, dangerous and spread disease. The best way to get rid of soi dogs is to shoot them as they do in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, IMHO, they are puerile pests who continually demonstrate their own social inadequacies, constantly disguising themselves because they lack both the wit and the skill to maintain an honest persona.

Technically it is illegal without a workpermit for the volunteer work you are doing. The school I went to is known for its community work. However, one hour here and three hours there in a week is hardly going to sustain someone, either farang or Thai. Perhaps it was fine for me to volunteer because my normal occupation was that of a full-time student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw any BIB throwing random students into a paddy wagon because they played with slum children once a week or because they were fundraising for a village in Isaan.

I think, that "humans" were the first responsable to leave the dogs behind causing now the problems! The dogs never asked to be left in this situation.

Samui Coconut Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Father Joe's Mercy Center is an excellent idea and real eye opener....he will be very pleased. Or get in touch with Rotary...I think there are 4/5 clubs in Bangkok..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks everyone! Been in touch with Father Joe's mission and the Thai red cross society. Going to see them next week, it would be just nice to put something back into the place i love and consider home - Thailand. angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
