The Experience
Moo Baan Dek, a rural orphanage in the Thai jungle is seeking volunteers to help teach English. The school follows the Summerhill approach, an alternative educational philosophy that emphasizes self-directed learning, emotional well-being, and community responsibility. It serves orphaned and impoverished children, providing them with a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn at their own pace in a non-coercive setting.
