A worthwile challenge

Traveling to a new place and new country is never easy but truly a worthwile challenge and experience. Traveling as a volunteer versus a tourist enables you to see and experience a place, the people and their culture in a more intimate way.

Thai-experience was a great help in enabling me to have such an experience. All the people I met, from the staff, other volunteers, children, and teachers, have left an everlasting impression on me.
