The experience

My children are between the ages of 5 and 18. They are from the surrounding villages. I have over 150 students. My children are very well-behaved. They have many different levels of learning. Many children here have never been taught English. I’m not looking for an expert English teacher. I am looking for someone who has love to share so they can connect with the children.

Program Details

Our primary mission is to provide free access to children from villages in the mountainous region of Phu Chi Fa.

We are an association and language project set up to allow children to live the life they want to lead. Starting out as a short-term rental and English tutoring in Chiang Mai, the project grew and the Hmong community of Phu Chi Fa asked me to come and help the local children with their English. I'm now based in the region to help the community and in particular the children, to give them the chance to choose between the hard life in the fields and studying to get out of poverty.

We need all the goodwill wanting to positively impact the world.
To do this, the foundation opens its doors to an international aid platform.

Activities & Shift

Help us teach English to local villagers in Phu Chi Fa and surrounding villages.

Important informations:

-We do not refuse any children so be prepared to manage large classes with different levels
-We reward the most motivated students
-We organize knowledge tests once a month
-Multi-level classes are set up
-We do not require expert teachers, only goodwill, love for children and active interaction are important.
-To help you and prepare your lessons as best as possible, we use the "Sam and Mel english program": Sam and Mel youtube channel with free access to the first three lessons
-Be aware that teaching requires a minimum of preparation !
- We also need help on online teaching as well.

1. What to expect from Nadine House Education Foundation? We are working with 6-8 villages remotely and teaching on site. At the time you may have to work independently and as team members. We also teach online via Zoom to our remote students.

Volunteer Responsibilities

To ensure clarity, here are the main expectations during your stay:

• Finances: Cover personal expenses unless otherwise agreed.
• Recreation: Plan your activities during free time.
• Transportation: Arrange travel to/from the site and for daily needs.
• Food: Prepare your meals using provided kitchen resources and supplies.

Contribution Policy
To support the ongoing operation of the foundation, including food, school supplies, and shared living expenses, a contribution of €5 per person per day is required.

• Minimum stay: 14 days
• Payment: Must be submitted at least 24 hours prior to arrival

All contributions must be paid in advance, ideally the day before your departure.
(We apologize for the firm policy—unfortunately, some previous volunteers did not fulfill their financial commitments. As a self-funded organization, we rely on transparency and mutual respect.) We appreciate your understanding and continued support of our mission.
