Benefits of being a volunteer

Volunteering to teach in Surin is not only incredibly worthwhile for the children of Surin, it's very beneficial for you as well.

By taking on volunteer teaching work in Surin, you'll be:

Mastering the challenge of teaching
Teaching is not just about standing at the front of a classroom - it's about coming up with creative ideas to engage and hold the attention of all your students and to make learning fun for both you and them. The whole process of preparing and delivering lessons is absorbing and will help you develop skills you probably didn't even know you had.

Understanding the value of teaching
You'll feel appreciated and welcomed in Surin's schools from day one, and you'll realise just quite how important your presence is to the Thai students and teachers. You will be making a vital contribution to these childen's eductation and you will be able to witness their improvement on a daily basis.

Enjoying the excitement of working abroad
There are few experiences comparable to the exhilaration of living within a different culture. Your time in Surin will allow you to enjoy the vibrant local mix of Thai, Khmer and Khui traditions and cultures, along with the legendary friendliness of the Thai people. You're also in an ideal position to explore the rest of Thailand and South East Asia.

Learning a new language
Whether or not you think you're good at languages, you'll soon find yourself mastering many useful Thai phrases that will not only make your stay more enjoyable but also let you feel more at home with the locals.

Doing something worthwhile from start to finish
Throughout your Surin teaching experience, you'll feel rewarded every step of the way. Not only will you realise how much you can contribute to the local schools and their students, you will also realise how much living and working in Surin can do for you. It's an opportunity not to be missed.
