Volunteer work Thailand
VSO volunteers' work in Thailand focuses primarily on the Thailand-Burma border, where we work directly with migratory and hill peoples to help provide education and community-building in the area.
Significant numbers of young children in this region have little or no access to education. VSO volunteers are working with local educational institutions and the community to raise awareness of every child’s right to a quality education.
VSO is also working with the Thai state and migrant schools to support these schools to gain recognition and become registered as Learning Centres. This could open up the chance to get state support and for students to get accreditation for their achievements.
VSO works in Thailand to help ethnic minority women and young people. Often these groups are doubly disadvantaged because they carry the burden of economic and social disenfranchisement as well as social and political inequality.
VSO volunteers are undertaking voluntary work in these communities to create equal rights and a political and social voice for these women. VSO is also working to create democratic community decision-making groups that encompass all perspectives, including ethnic and minority women within the entire community.
