The mission of DaLaa is to coordinate the hosting of volunteers in active communities leaded by our hosts. We always have dreamed to start our own association community. It is the best introduction to all new comers and reveals our values of volunteering to the world, the first entrance to our new members right around our rural office
Since 2015 that we have moved to this village, we have been continuously working or the surrounding, gardening and doing activities with the local kids. Volunteers can also expect cooking class, seeds conservation, recycling, repairing or construction. We wish our motivated volunteers to join English teaching with the local schools.
Moreover, we regularly organize extra activities such as mini work camps in the week-ends, International seminars, visit our MLTV placements and we are open to all new ideas.

5- Possibility to support DaLaa office work
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 should be able to stay in a remote environment. Volunteers should be able to take responsibility for themselves and the team by taking care of their health and security and be fully involved in the daily tasks
Volunteers will stay in the volunteers’ hut in the DaLaa organization area. There will be simple mats, pillow and mosquito net. There are basic toilets, showers and a kitchen. We cook together with the team and DaLaa staffs. Local people eat rice (or noodles) 3 times a day with side dishes like curries, omelets, local leaves and vegetables. Volunteers will be welcome to cook their own food using the ingredients available there. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans)
There is no pocket money.
Less than 90 days: Participants should request a 60 days tourist visa at a Thai Embassy/ Consulate in their country.
Volunteers are responsible for their own insurance.
The fee for a 2-month service is 26,000 Baht, approx. 667 Euro (39, 000 Baht for 3 months). From the fourth months on the fee will be 11,000 per month.
