Providing care and leisure activities for tsunami orphans
June 7 - June 29, 2008
Volunteer project: The 2004 Tsunami killed about 9000 persons in Thailand and displaced around 7000 people among the population. Loads of kids lost part or all their family in the disaster. The Print-Rite and PitayaSuwan Foundations decided to take 45 of them in charge, to care about them and their scholarship. This project is part of this attempt to drive their life lighter and happier for a while.
The volunteers will organise activities, games and workshops with the Print-rite kids and their fellows in the primary and secondary schools where they study. The main work will essentially be to take care of the children and make them have a good time.
Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the social and environmental impact of the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand in general and in the Ranong district in particular.
Special requirements: This project is for children lovers, as a lot of patience and attention is needed. Some experience in animation with kids will be appreciated.
