Volunteer in Child Care Centers in Thailand

Volunteers in this program get an opportunity to work in the poorer communities and assist in caring the children in the age group of 3-6 yrs. Volunteers can play with the kids, sing, dance, painting, drawing etc depending upon the skills they have. At the same time, they will be helping them taking food, showering, and sleeping.
There are many “Child Care Centers” in central Thailand especially in nearby cities and factory areas. These are normally attached with primary schools and run either by local government, communities, temples or foundations. These child centers are to provide services to the poor families who have low-paid job (mostly factory workers) and can’t afford to hire nannies for their children or send them to private nurseries. Their parents drop them before they go to work and pick them up after office work.

Volunteers in this program work for around 6 hrs in a day , 5 days in a week.
