Description: International Volunteer HQ's partner NGO in Thailand requires volunteers Now! IVHQ has a range of volunteering opportunities available in the Chiang Rai province working with local villages and hill tribes.

* Teaching English
In the Northern areas of Thailand such as Chiang Rai many of the local people have not been fortunate enough to have access to any type of formal education. Therefore there is a real need for volunteers to assist in the education of not only young children but also adults from surrounding hill tribes and local villages. Volunteers may be based in a local hill tribe village or at IVHQ's partner organization with other volunteers and staff depending on your preference.

N.B. Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher.

* Community Development
The Community Development project with IVHQ's partner in Thailand can encompass a wide range of work and is largely dependent on the areas our partner is focusing on during your volunteering placement. While the work is varied, general tasks it can encompass include basic construction work (for example, painting and building of infrastructure such as roads, bridges and housing), working in local child care centers (which can involve, cleaning, cooking, teaching and playing with children) and assistance in development projects such as the Anti Human Trafficking Project.

In addition to the two placements listed above, it is also expected that volunteers will assist with other general chores and activities such as cleaning and cooking occasionally. Dependent on the time of the year and the skills of the volunteers, there may also be other jobs and activities, volunteers can assist our Thailand partner organization with such as; website development, translating Thai into English, assisting local NGOS in their activities, fund raising and participation in development projects (Examples Include: Anti Child Begging Campaign, HIV Awareness Project and Youth Development Projects).
