Childcare services in Thailand are expensive and unaffordable for the poor. It’s the poor families however that need the services more than the rich. The local government and Buddhist temples have established some centers to help the poor. But due to financial constraints, these centers struggle to provide full support to the children as trained manpower is often in short supply.
Volunteer in the project and help improve the situation. You will work with children aged between 2 and 6. The children get dropped in the center before the parents leave for work and are collected by their parents after work. This is a wonderful opportunity to not only help the parents but also to teach English and other skills to children and turn them into confident individuals.
No specific skills or qualifications are required to volunteer in the project. You should however have passion to work for the children and be flexible and patient.
Volunteers will do variety of activities to keep children occupied during the day. The aim of these activities is to make children learn as well as have fun. You will organize drawing and painting classes, teach them to sing, dance, and teach English and nursery rhymes. You’ll work between 8 am to 12 noon. In addition, volunteers can also teach in a nearby primary school during the day for 3 to 4 hours.
RCDP will look after your entire needs during your project work. Volunteers will stay in a hostel in the historic city of Ayuthaya, which is about 60 miles north of Bangkok. The accommodation is clean, in a safe place and within easy reach of all the volunteer placements. You’ll have to share your room with other volunteers. The resident chef will prepare you 3 local meals a day. In your free time, volunteers can explore magnificent ancient ruins of Ayuthaya. Even Bangkok is only 2-3 hours away. You can also plan to visit Konchanburi, Chiang Mai or the south of Thailand for spectacular beaches.

The mission of RCDP-Nepal is to encourage international volunteers to contribute in sustainable community development that benefits the underprivileged and extremely poor. By developing the places and the communities, the volunteers are also developing themselves and learning new perspectives and ideas that will ultimately change their lives.
