"The little city of Sing Buri, Thailand, and the memories made in it are those I will never forget! I am so grateful to have been able to learn so much about Thailand's diverse culture. I made so many great friends who I was able to share these experiences with, and met the most full-of-life kids at the school during the Building program. The team in Thailand are incredible and were so helpful with everything I needed to know." Kaela
Discover the sights and sounds of off-the-beaten-track regional Thailand and add your efforts to a range of diverse projects which improve the living standards of local people in need, whether through improvements at home or to community infrastructure.
In this area of Thailand, there are still many families living in very poor quality housing, without basic sanitation facilities. The local village head selects local families who are in need of support to improve their current living standards, and here the team will undertake construction and renovation efforts such as sanitation, repairs and maintenance, painting and other construction and renovation as required. Depending the need at the time, the community construction project may also focus on the development of other community facilities such as temples, childcare facilities, hospitals and schools. Working alongside local people you will help build and renovate - your work might include digging foundations, installing water pipes, clearing land, erecting walls, painting, decorating, creating gardens and play areas. The work is varied and no two days are ever the same.
