Chiang Mai Volunteer Group #220
Presenting Chiang Mai Volunteer and Intern Group #220! A group of 14 volunteers and interns from the USA, Denmark, and Canada.

The Thai school year has just started, and the schools have opened this week for the new school year. The rains have started, and it's a lovely time to be here in Chiang Mai. The individuals in this group are participating in our Medical Internship, Magazine Internship, Children's Home, Teaching Monks, Elephant Camp and English Education Volunteer Projects.<br />

5 Tips for Surviving Songkran
If you are volunteering in Thailand in mid-April it is likely you will be free from your project to enjoy the Songkran New Year Festival. Due to all the festivities of Songkran, along with the Thailand School year summer (which runs from March to mid-May) our volunteer and intern projects are closed for the month. However, a fair number of volunteers come early, or depart Thailand long after the end of their project to engage in this culturally rich festival.<br />
Happy St.Patrick's Day!
