Looking for a volunteer position

[amirravon]

Hello

My wife looking for a volunteer position around Silom area, preferly with kids since she have lot of experience as assistant kindergarten thatcher, She don't do it as a way to gain any visa privilege since she got a A-visa as my spouse ( I hold a B-visa ).

We came to Thailand from the U.S but she is originally from Israel and English is her second language. Any information / offers are welcome.

Thanks

Depends where you gonna stay and if your wife prefers contact/social work for the Jewish community.

I assume Israeli expats have a broad social network over here.

To start, (my advise) perhaps the Chabad House in BKK where they can provide practical info for her and you.

They will be able to answer (most) of your questions...

Good luck !

Yep, I think the attitude is: "Never let a Good Deed go Un-punished."

You'd think they'd appreciate volunteers.

Are you 100% sure about that statement ?

Thorgal Thanks for the advice

Is she wanting to volunteer only as a kindergarten thatcher? I think she's going to be wasting her time looking for roofing work in Thailand, voluntary or not it's a restricted profession.

About the work permit to volunteer ? Yes, 100 % true.

Yes volunteers require a WP

Does your wife have a wp?

If not, cannot

Is she a real teacher? If not, try to get qualified, better for everyone,

How can she have a work permit if she is only looking for a job?

There may be some positions available in the Yala province if your interested ...

YALA: -- SECURITY personnel are hunting for more than 20 suspected insurgents who launched a bloody attack on village security volunteers in Yala province early yesterday.

You can get a work permit to do volunteer work, BUT it must be with a registered foundation/NGO and they have to submit a ton of documents to City Hall and Immigration. I was there for three years on a volunteer work permit.
