For the 4 workcamps:

PARTICIPATION FEE

For each workcamp, the fee is fixed to 9,500 Baht per person for 2 weeks. The fee will be used for living expenses (gas, water, electricity, food, transportation), materials used in projects/activities, and financial support of our organization.

*Volunteers’ fee is our only income. We are not funded by any governmental sectors.

**Participants are responsible for their own travel, and all personal expenses during the free time.

 

OFFICIAL MATTERS (VISA, IMMIGRATION, INSURANCE)

Most of the western countries passports holders can get 60 days stay for free in Thailand. It’s called “on arrival visa”. Immigration officers may ask for a valid return ticket and sufficient funds.

Participants are responsible for their own insurance. You should talk to your company or working place about what is covered, and how to get your expenses back in case you need it. Be aware that only few hospitals in big cities will directly reimburse the medical fees. It is more likely that you will need to pay first.

There is no vaccination required to come to Thailand. There is also no malaria history at the project place.

Camps:

Watpikulthong School

  • (Activities with kids at a primary school)
  • Dates:
    • 12 -25 January 2025
    • and 8-21 June 2025

SHORT DESCRIPTION

Phikulthong School is a very small Buddhism school in Chamuang, Khuan Khanun district, Phatthalung province, Southern Thailand. We got to know this school through the director that we use to work with in his former school. The school director who shares the same values as Dalaa would like to provide the chance for the students to improve their English by using the language in real life with foreign volunteers. There are 162 students in this school. Volunteers can help organize English lessons or other fun activities with the students from kindergarten to Grade 6 (6-12 years old). The English skills of the students are very poor, and they are not familiar with foreigners. Here you can experience the locals’ way of life, exchange your cultures with other volunteers and villagers, and support the children’s education.

WORK AND ACTIVITIES

  1. Provide a non-formal English classes and other fun activities for the students
  2. Create teaching materials for teachers and kids
  3. Activities with villagers: cleaning the temple area, sport activities, homemade dessert

**We’ll keep you update 1 month or 2 weeks before the camp starts for a more detailed schedule**
** You will be supervised by DaLaa’s coordinator which will help you and people in this community to connect with one another.

We can’t guarantee about the number of participants (both Thai and international) We will keep informed during the application process.

 

FOOD and ACCOMODATION

Volunteers will sleep in the classroom. There will be only some yoga mats, pillows, and mosquito nets. We suggest you bring your own sleeping bag, inflatable mattress, or another yoga mat. It’s ok if you don’t bring any of those, but you need to be sure that you will be comfortable in such condition.

There are basic toilets, showers and a kitchen at the school canteen. The teachers and villagers are willing to help you to cook as well. Local people eat rice (or noodles) 3 times a day with side dishes like curries, omelets, local leaves and vegetables. Volunteers will be welcome to cook their own food using the ingredients available there. (No oven, only a gas and woks or pans)

 

VSC (Kids holiday camps)

Dates: 16 – 29 March 2025 and 6-19 April 2025 (+ Songkran festival)

 

SHORT DESCRIPTION

During those 2 weeks, we want to organize children’s activities at DaLaa Voluntary Service Community in Kok Sak village for Thai children from 7 to 13 years old. The activities and camp’s daily life organized by volunteers should be strongly connected with our community values, authenticity, responsibility and inclusion. Besides, they should allow children to be in a harmonious and safe environment. English language is poorly understood by the children, so we’ll have to find possibilities to overcome this challenge with the help from our coordinator and Thai volunteers.

Only for the 6-19 April workcamp

During 13-15 April, it’s time of the most important festival in Thai culture: Songkran festival that volunteers will have the chance to experience.
