Description:
The International Humanity Foundation is looking for volunteers for our orphanage in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Unlike the other IHF Centers, the Thailand branch is solely an orphanage, not an education center. Our center in Chiang Rai works with the hilltribes, the indigenous people living in the tumultuous borderlands between Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos and extending as far as into China and Vietnam. The two tribes at our Children's Home are Lahu and Akha. The hilltribes in Northern Thailand face many challenges, and it is our mission to arm our children with the skills, attitudes and knowledge that they will need to have equal opportunities for their future, like other Thai citizens.
Highlights:
IHF likes to look after its volunteers, utilizing skills people have to offer and developing new skills which you can put on your resume. Teaching English to the kids is an amazing experience and you will learn skills for future work. Work with IHF is not only fulfilling but fun too!
