At very short notice I plan to spend from November to March teaching English to poor hilltribe children using my creative skills in community arts and music. Then in March I hope to go to an even more remote area and help to install a clean water system. This experience will take me right out of my comfort zone but I hope that I will really make a difference. ... READ MORE

During the summer of 2009 I am planning to go to Thailand to spend a few weeks teaching Karen hill tribe children to speak English. I will be living with the family in the remote mountains of North West Thailand and will go to the school daily. 75% of children never finish their secondary education because they don’t have the money to pay for books, transport or...

The project provides clean water for a community which at the moment have to either travel to get it or risk illness by drinking the unclean water currently available in the village. I am one of a team of 8 volunteers, all of us cooking, sleeping and living in the village for the duration of the project.

All of the money raised is going towards the cost of... READ MORE

I am hoping to raise at least £500 to contribute towards materials and other costs for the project, so... READ MORE

In summer 2006 we lived for three weeks in a hilltribe village in northern Thailand called Ban Mae To Tai. As part of a team we helped to install a clean water system for this very poor, remote village high in the mountains. Many Karen villagers suffer from ill health and once the clean system is installed, typhoid is virtually eradicated and general health... READ MORE
