Volunteers will join a small Muslim community of South Thailand on the banks of Songkhla Lake. They will organize activities for children of the local school and share the life of the villagers. Ko Nang Kham is a small village situated in Pattalung province, close to the middle part of Songkhla Lake which is Thailand’s biggest lake. The community area is a small island inside the lake so the main career of the villagers is fisheries.
Volunteers will be arranging creative activities with students. They will be supervised by the teachers. Depending of the volunteers’ skills, they will be proposed to organize activities with each class from Grade 1 to Grade 9 twice a week (1 hour session).
The volunteers should be ready to stay in a local area, to adapt to the local conditions with only basic facilities. Very few local people are able to speak in English. Volunteers should be able to be with the kids and prepare some games and material for teaching.
Volunteers will stay in a local house situated in the village center. There’s a kitchen and bathroom in the house. Volunteers can go on foot to the project school which is not far. There will be simple mat, pillow and mosquito net. You may need to bring your own sleeping bag and other sleeping gear for your comfort. Lunch will be offered at school.
