Many people come to Nong Khai to do more than simply travel, and some find themselves becoming so involved in the local community, that what was supposed to be a three day stay turns into much longer. Here are several ways to participate, though if you write to us we can think of many more...

First, let me mention my wife Pao, who, as a senior teacher at Nong Khai Technical College is always on the look out for people to help teach her gifted students. To find out more just send an email to Mut Mee, and we will send you further information!

Pictured right is Martin helping the children at Sarnelli House. A Catholic venture under the direction of Father Mike Shea, this project cares for children who are all HIV positive.

Frequently orphaned by AIDS, these children are in need of any love and attention you feel able to offer.

For further information visit their fantastic site: www.sarnelli.org

The First Global Community College draws young people from all over the world to teach those who would otherwise be unable to afford further education.

The medium of instruction is in English. For more information click here.

Travel to Teach is an innovative project offering valuable working opportunities and genuine cultural experience at a reasonable cost for those wishing to gain experience working abroad.

Teaching children and young people from the poorer parts of rural Thailand, the project aims to provide unique benefits to both young Thais and participating foreigners. www.travel-to-teach.org

Openmindprojects promotes modern learning for underprivileged people in Thailand and Laos. Suitable for everybody, it offers amazing volunteer experiences, whether studying, working or retired.

Isara is a self sufficient charity which, by encouraging people to use its site, makes money from the clicks each time they visit it. The money raised goes to projects such as helmet donations, scholarships, trash clean-up & a free learning centre.
