Phikulthong School is a very small Buddhism school in Chamuang, Khuan Khanun district, Phatthalung province, Southern Thailand. We got to know this school through the director that we use to work with in his former school. The school director who shares the same values as Dalaa would like to provide the chance for the students to improve their English by using the language in real life with foreign volunteers. There are 162 students in this school. Volunteers can help organize English lessons or other fun activities with the students from kindergarten to Grade 6 (6-12 years old). The English skills of the students are very poor, and they are not familiar with foreigners. Here you can experience the locals’ way of life, exchange your cultures with other volunteers and villagers, and support the children’s education.
WORK AND ACTIVITIES 1- Provide a non-formal English classes and other fun activities for the students 2- Create teaching materials for teachers and kids 3- Activities with villagers: cleaning the temple area, sport activities, homemade dessert

Volunteers will sleep in the classroom. There will be only some yoga mats, pillows, and mosquito nets. We suggest you bring your own sleeping bag, inflatable mattress, or another yoga mat. It’s ok if you don’t bring any of those, but you need to be sure that you will be comfortable in such condition. There are basic toilets, showers and a kitchen at the school canteen. The teachers and villagers are willing to help you to cook as well. Local people eat rice (or noodles) 3 times a day with side dishes like curries, omelets, local leaves and vegetables. Volunteers will be welcome to cook their own food using the ingredients available there. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans).
PARTICIPATION FEE For each workcamp, the fee is fixed to 9,500 Baht per person for 2 weeks. The fee will be used for living expenses (gas, water, electricity, food, transportation), materials used in projects/activities, and financial support of our organization. *Volunteers’ fee is our only income. We are not funded by any governmental sectors. **Participants are responsible for their own travel, and all personal expenses during the free time. OFFICIAL MATTERS (VISA, IMMIGRATION, INSURANCE) • Most of the western countries passports holders can get 30 days stay for free in Thailand. It’s called “on arrival visa”. There is also 2-months tourist visa you can apply for at the Thai Embassy-consulate in your country. Immigration officers may ask for a valid return ticket and sufficient funds. • Participants are responsible for their own insurance. You should talk to your company or working place about what is covered, and how to get your expenses back in case you need it. Be aware that only few hospitals in big cities will directly reimburse the medical fees. It is more likely that you will need to pay first. • There is no vaccination required to come to Thailand. There is also no malaria history at the project place.

Volunteers will stay at the local people house. You will need to bring only a light sleeping bag. We will provide with a small mattress and a mosquito net. The living condition is very simple than you would think. You may find it completely different than in your country. There are basic toilets and showers and a kitchen where volunteers will cook by themselves. They can take turn in daily tasks. The ingredients can be purchased at local grocery stores. It may be helpful if you bring some instant ingredients from home, so that you can share some of your traditional food with other volunteers. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans).
