Description:
Work:
HOC are primarily seeking persons with skills. The HOC is a centre for special needs children. Our children come from remote villages in northern Thailand. Children range in age from 4-15. The centre is an environment where children learn how to become as independent as possible. Some of our children attend a local school; those not able to attend are taught at our onsite school.
We are interested in having volunteers, focusing on persons with training. We are requesting persons to assist us in many areas, professional and non professional. Professional persons share their expertise in areas such as speech therapy, assist with our existing physical therapy program, occupational and cognitive therapy….etc. Non professional persons who have skills are encouraged to take part in and teach arts and crafts, acting, basic computer applications, music, creative dance, yoga…etc.
Qualifications:
Interested volunteers must be able to speak English. Persons must come with an abundance of energy and enthusiasm. Applicants must also be mature, responsible, and must have an open heart and willingness to help special needs children and have a passion to make a difference.
In order to have the full impact of volunteer work, one month is the usual length of time for volunteers to stay at HOC, but adjustments can be made to the length of stay at the HOC on a case by case assessment.
