Teaching Children Project




GVI's newest group of teaching children volunteers headed off to the schools on Monday morning prepared with bags of resources as well as activities, songs and games to teach English to local school children. 4 volunteers are serving the Ao Luk Primary School and the Ao Luk Municipality School, both within walking distance of the GVI base.

The remaining 4 volunteers are teaching at rural primary schools. One group is focusing on the 5 primary schools of Laem Sak, the coastal sub district of Ao Luk. Laem Sak has developed to the point of having their own municipality and due to a new pier is under development. Schools in Laem Sak have requested English teaching assistance to provide educational opportunities for their youth.

Another group of volunteers have been placed at 4 different schools which are being referred to as CBT (Community Based Tourism) Schools because of their surrounding eco-tourist locations including caves, the sea, community forests and home stay communities.

We hope that with continued interest from local schools and new volunteers GVI will be able to continue to serve local schools for the long term.
