I got this letter to-day from Robert and I would like to share it with you because it gives you details about how you can volunteer in Thailand. I have lived and worked in Thailand for at least three years and I know it is a great country. If you write me I can give you lots of reasons to work or volunteer in Thailand . Here is Robert's letter verbatim. If you have questions or want to volunteer please talk to Robert directly since I  do not know him


 Dear Mr. Charles,

I see you put together first class trips where teachers stay in higher end hotels.

As you have been to Thailand you understand the respect elders are given here and the
need for English teaching in the less fortunate areas of Thailand.

Please consider visiting us on your next trip to view our facility. 


Would like to offer you the ability to contact us directly in the event any teacher, student or group
would be interested to spend time in Thailand.

We have been recognized by our Provincial Education Department

As a Community based operation (CBO) we save volunteers agency commissions, program 
administration and other service fees allowing more Volunteers’ to live the experience.

Volunteer programs need people with the desire of sharing their ideas knowledge and personal 
experiences with others while discovering the world we all share.

"Thailand Teach -
I met Robert Newton through one of the groups of Facebook for teachers. I use to keep pestering him about coming and volunteering for him after I get a job in Thailand. He is a wonderful human being, very down to Earth and giving. Robert is in to providing volunteers to teach at the schools they are connected with. These schools are often under funded being in the rural area however the kids at the schools are really bright and eager to learn. I have added the link to the Facebook page of Thailand Teach-

If you wish to make a difference then do try to get in touch with Robert and volunteer whenever it suits your schedule. I say so because I have taught at these schools and when you see kids eager to learn but the school can not afford a qualified English teacher due to lack of funding, it does touch you within. I personally hope to volunteer more often, finding a balance between my job and volunteering is what am working on."
