All volunteers are welcome to our free 3 day Cross Cultural and Volunteer Training, by some quoted as the best available in SE Asia. The training takes place in the heart of Indochina, in Thailand, on the border to Laos, at our own Volunteer and Training Center so participants have a chance to visit Laos too before volunteering. The training is free for OpenmindProjects volunteers but open to other travelers too, at a fee.

Open mind projects's Mission Statement: Open Mind Projects is a bridge to knowledge and cross-cultural understanding, bridging digital and knowledge divides between rich and poor.
Open Mind Projects arranges placements for international volunteers to schools, Orphan Homes, other institutions and projects, in Thailand and Laos. Open Mind Projects cooperates with these schools and institutions with learning ideas, technology and international volunteers.
Schools and other learning/youth institutions in developing nations are understaffed and under resources. New information technology and international volunteers help offset this advantage.
Open Mind Projects wants to facilitate valuable cross-cultural experience, personal development, for volunteers and local childeren and students.
An opportunity to learn about other cultures while making local and international friends, within an affordable backpacker budget.
