If you are interested in an internship in our project, then we should get to know one another better, so that we can decide together whether the Children's Shelter Foundation is the right place for you

Volunteer in a forgeign country

Teamwork with our Thai teachers and educators requires a great deal of flexibility, adaptability and openness.

Their approach to life, their way of thinking, their educational goals and the implementation of these, their way of working

and much more are fundamentally different from those within our western system. 

Perfectionism, for example, meets with incomprehension in Thailand, whereas joie de vivre and fun cannot be ignored. 

At first, there will be many things that you don't understand and some things that you will think need getting used to or that you think may even be wrong. Use this opportunity to look at your own way of thinking and to be open to new ways of living. 

With patience, the ability to adapt to new people and situations and a good helping of humour, you will soon be immersed in the Thai culture and mentality and find your firm place as "sister/brother or aunt/uncle" in our extended family.

If you are flexible and can imagine mucking in with everyday life, you are most welcome to join us. The children will take your heart

by storm and you will soon be talking about "our children" and "our project" and be doing everything possible to enrich the lives

of the children in some small way.

                              ... and precisely that is the goal.

If you would also like to travel around Thailand, please plan a fixed time for travel and a fixed time for being a volunteer.

Doing both at once is not possible.
