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 />
Summer Volunteer - Job Prospects!
Summer Volunteer Projects have always been regarded as a great way for college students to enrich their lives while helping those less fortunate than themselves. Volunteering can be extremely rewarding on a personal level, but it can also significantly boost your job prospects both during your studies and after graduation.<br />
