If you ever thought about doing international volunteer work, please do consider this program! Locations include Bolivia, Peru, Thailand, Nepal, Ghana, and more..
I volunteered with uVolunteer Thailand last year teaching English at a local elementary school. An absolutely enlightening and fun experience! :-) Just got a message today from the project manager that they are in need of more volunteer English teachers. The kids keep asking - When are we going to get a farang (foreign) teacher again? - that makes me feel sad..
Maybe you or your friend can be their next teacher! Please pass the word around!
I would be happy to answer questions about the program if anyone is interested. (Ask me at rony.gao@gmail.com ) I spoke about my teaching experience in this video, and there are many more on the uVolunteer website. :-)
Wish everyone a Happy 2013!
Thanks,
Rony
