New Arrivals and Start of a New Expedition


On Saturday a new expedition began with 18 new volunteers, GVI Thailand's biggest group ever. Volunteers joined GVI's TEFL and teaching projects in Thailand coming from the USA, Australia, England, Ireland and Australia. 10 volunteers will be pursuing their 100 hour TEFL qualification while teaching free English classes for the local adult community at the Ao Luk Non-Formal Education Center. The eight other volunteers will be teaching English to children in surrounding local schools. With 8 volunteers GVI will be able to serve 11 primary schools throughout Ao Luk.

This weekend volunteers settled into their new home at the GVI base and were taken through a number of presentations, workshops and orientation sessions in order to prepare them for their teaching posts to begin on Monday.

We hope all volunteers enjoy their stay with GVI in Ao Luk and get the most out of their volunteer experience. Stay tuned for more news and pictures of adventures to come!
