Thailand
Placement options: Gap Year Team: 5.5 months
More details
This team will be working with Christian Care Foundation for Children with Disabilities, a partner organisation in Bangkok, placed in one of four day care centres for children with disabilities. Activities involved in this Team include playing with the children, teaching them to feed themselves, encouraging movement, helping their speech and most importantly just showing them love. It will be a challenging, but wonderful experience. This would particularly suit those with physiotherapy, teaching, children's work or other healthcare experience, but a heart for children and a willingness to serve are just as important!
Due to the nature of this placement and its specific challenges, it may not be right for everyone who applies, so please select a second choice country option when applying.
