PROJECT ACTIVITIES
This project involves family volunteer activities where participants conduct classes for children at a childcare center in Hua Hin, Thailand.
Most of the childcare centers in Hua Hin struggle to provide the necessary care for children due to a small number of teachers relative to the number of students. Volunteers' participation helps provide more opportunities for the children, allowing them to grow up in love and care.
If you have young children in your family, instead of participating in the volunteer activities, you can spend enjoyable time interacting with local children in Hua Hin.

▶ Participant's Comment: A gap year experience with children! We decided to spend a gap year together because we wanted to show our child a wider world. We hoped that our child would experience more and prepare for the future. Our goal was to see some growth in our child by the end of the gap year. And we had an excellent time beyond our expectations! We made wonderful memories and formed special friendships with the great people we met locally, and thanks to the whole family participating in the volunteer work, we experienced a fulfillment that is not found in regular travel. It was a time of growth and maturity not just for our child, but for our entire family. If given the chance, we would definitely like to participate again. - Participant Mr. Jeon ○ Ah |
