Got any charitably minded friends? Know anyone who has a company that would like the benefit of good PR and to make a real difference at the same time?
The Stratton ABC Foundation,( registered Charity No; C.M310), in Chiang Mai, is presently looking for Sponsors to ensure the continuation and development of its work helping disadvantaged children to get a better chance in life.
As well as operating a Childrens Home, with beds for 15 children, (presently caring for 9), the Foundation also has an English Language promotion project which aims to increase the use and standards of English language in local rural schools. Good working knowledge of spoken English can often give someone, who may be short on other academic qualifications, a good chance of a job paying decent money in Thailand.
This project includes a website, www.thaischoolsenglish.org; with sub-sites for separate local schools. The Foundation is currently developing these sites to carry online courses for the children to follow as well as placing volunteer teachers for first hand teaching at schools.
You can see more details of the Stratton ABC Foundations work on its own website, www.thestrattonabcfoundation.com.
Also any Schools who may like to link with a rural school in Thailand please also contact the Foundation through their website.
If you can help in anyway, please contact the Foundation through their website.
My 23 year old daughter and I are interested in volunteering for one week from May 9th through May 13th. We are planning to stay at a guest house in Chiang Mai that is northwest of the city center (Santisuk Road) and travel to your school from there. Please email us and let us know whether or not this will be possible. We are both English speaking and very good at using the English language.
