Because the rain, I couldn't go to the school and I jumped into another project. It didn't match with my son of 2.5years old. The first week has been really hard. The second week was better. The team who support me in the project has been fantastic. They listened to me, gave me support and options. From the 3de week, my son and I could start properly our voluntaring job in the school. From that moment it has been amazing. The teachers and the children were great. I got the opportunity to teach my first yoga class with kids and we were included for the Christmas festival ( my son has been on the stage with the kids of our class). Local team has been fantastic and awesome. Great skills of Listening to, supporting and helping. Good time with the family host.

Pickup was amazing and safe driving. Felt quite secure. Very yummy food. For someone who can’t handle much spice, the cook did a great job to cater to our needs. Maybe a salad but that’s just me.Outside of vol, I would relax at the house, explore around the streets to get supplies, laundry and atm. To the gym after 6pm. In free time, have a chill and look around the area a bit more as well. Such inviting environments, with the loveliest people/ children. To be able to try and brighten their day feels quite rewarding.

I am deeply grateful for the privilege of getting to spend time with these women. Many of them were married at a young age and received very little education, but their determination to learn is inspiring. Getting to know them has given me a deeper appreciation for all the opportunities I have had in my life and it is incredibly rewarding to be able to share some of that with them. I have been able to see the difference I have made in such a short time and I have enjoyed learning from them as well. The local team has shown such wonderful hospitality and I have felt supported throughout my time here. The food is delicious and I have enjoyed learning how to prepare some traditional food. The people are very warm and welcoming and I will miss them greatly. It would be helpful to have a curriculum to follow so that we are able to teach more effectively and help the women learn as much as possible while they are at the school.

I really liked the volunteering because it gave me so much insight on Thai culture and also on the school structure. It was interesting to see how different the individual schools and children were. I also really liked socializing with the other volunteers. The accommodation was good and I also really liked the pool. The Team was always nice and helpful and provided a great Support. The food was good especially on Thursday. Maybe longer blankets for the bedrooms and also more western food.
