Highlights:
Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand is home to interesting and colorful ethnic minorities, known as the hill tribes. Most of the hill tribes have migrated into the region during the past 100 years from the Asian interior and have preserved their traditional ways. There are seven broad hill tribe groupings: Karen, Lahu, Hmong, Lisu, Akha and Mien. This village school is located about 70 km from Chiang Mai City. The area is a conservation forest area. There are elephant camps near the school. The village school is a government school, teaching from grade 1-9. Most of students are hill tribe children. As it is a local village school, the quality of the English education is not so good so a lot of help is needed from volunteers. You will stay in a guest house near the school which is about 10 minutes walk. There are 250 children at this school aged 3 to 9 years old.
