Community Construction Volunteering in Thailand

    Rural Areas

Duration of Program: 1-2 weeks
Dates: Visit our website for upcoming start dates

Description: The renovation project in Ao Luk will focus on the local Non-Formal Education Centre as well as surrounding schools. The NFE Centre provides educational opportunities for those in the community that otherwise would not have access to these resources. This is also where GVI Thailand hosts their free English classes for the local community throughout the year. The buildings are old and dilapidated but with some hard work and assistance the Centre could become a useful place for the community to meet and the additional classroom space will allow for added classes in language as well as music, arts, and vocational skills. In addition, volunteers will help renovate and improve rural schools in the area.

How this program makes a difference:

By helping to do basic renovation such as painting, minor repairs, picking up litter, landscaping, volunteers will have the opportunity to help create a useful place for the local Ao Luk community to come together in a central location. The NFE Centre is located in a central location where much of the community lives and works. With a bit of work the Centre can evolve into a dynamic community centre providing an inspiring place for the community to seek knowledge and education, make added income from teaching classes and selling goods, and create a warm environment for the community to share their love of language, arts and music.
