Volunteer Update - Thailand

At Changing Worlds we offer a highly personal service to ensure you make the most of your Gap Year. Over ¼ of our volunteers come to us from recommendations so what better way than to let a couple of our volunteers currently teaching English in Thailand tell you more:

“The teaching is going well; we have been given more English lessons to run and have been doing lots of P.E. There is talk of us maybe organising our own English camp for Souncha (ages 5-10). That won’t happen until the end march, but will look great on the old c.v. The kids and teachers are great and really friendly making teaching a breeze. This is a pretty poor school so it’s great helping out there. It’s a beautiful school perched in the mountains of northern Thailand, surrounded by views that never fail to take my breath away.”

“Next Thursday, we are off to Bangkok with the school on a school trip. We had to pay 500 baht (so about 10 pounds) for accommodation and the bus, but so cheap. We have been told we are going to the grand palace and last night we were told that when we go to the grand palace, we won’t have to pay the 200 baht entrance fee as we are 'school teachers'. We will also get to see inside the grand palace and the government building, which if we went as tourists we would not get the chance to see!”

As of 11:39 am on the 10th March we had 236 followers on Twitter!

We are delighted by the interest being shown in Changing Worlds and in what we have to say. You can see a feed of our updates on Twitter on the right hand side of our blog page, or follow the link above to view our profile.

This along with 730 fans on our Facebook page puts us very close to having 1000 followers across social networks. If you could tell your friends about us, or mention us on your pages then that would really help get us up to 1000 global followers which would be amazing.

We are planning to start a monthly newsletter that will provide updates about our volunteers all round the world and will feature reports from our reps in the countries we have placements.

Being a small, family run company we are delighted to be in conversation with a global audience and reassured that the current economic climate is not all doom and gloom.

So thank you all for your support and friendship!

Kindest regards,

David
